West Ham United attacker Victor Obinna admits he's close to crazy Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli.
The two strikers are great pals from their days growing up at Inter Milan.
Obinna said: "We haven't spoken in the last week. Maybe before the game we will and afterwards. He is a talented player and we have to be at him."
Nigerian Obinna is low profile but Balotelli has never been out of the headlines, often of the wrong kind
Obinna said: "Sometimes he does some crazy things and, yes, I have to tell him off all the time. What does he say? 'I know, I know, I know brother!'. But that is the way he is."
