Liverpool signing Mario Balotelli is excited to be joining the Reds. The former AC Milan striker put pen to paper on a Reds deal before last night's defeat to Manchester City.
He told liverpoolfc.com: "I'm very happy. We've been talking about coming here and I'm happy to be here.
"Liverpool are one of the best teams here in England. The football is very good here. It's a great team with young players, and that's why I came here."
Balotelli has been mobbed by Reds fans since touching down on Merseyside.
"I didn't expect it because I've always been playing against Liverpool. Whenever I played against Liverpool, the fans weren't nice with me but that's normal - it's football! Now that I play for Liverpool, I can see the expectation in people. They're very happy and that makes me very happy at the same time."
