Free agent Mario Balotelli has been offered to West Ham United.

The striker is a free agent after being allowed to come off contract at Olympique Marseille.

The Telegraph says Balotelli could be an option if West Ham fail in their pursuit of Celta Vigo striker Maxi Gomez, who is also a target for Valencia.

Balotelli has spoken about a return to Italy, where he'd welcome a move to Napoli.

He was reported to police on Monday for paying a local bar owner €2,000 cash to drive a moped into the sea.
