The kid brother of Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli is trialling with Sunderland.
Enoch Balotelli has already had a spell at Stoke City and is tied to Brescia in Italy.
The 19-year-old reported for training in the north-east on Tuesday and is looking to win a deal at the club after failing to convince Stoke to sign him.
Balotelli went on trial at the Britannia Stadium towards the end of last year but did not manage to secure terms, and Martin O'Neill has stepped in to offer him another Premier League chance.
