Italian legend Dino Zoff says Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli can make an impact in the Euros next year.

Italy conceded just two goals in their group, but they only scored 20 which underlined that they are perhaps missing a centre-forward of top quality.

"Mario Balotelli has notable potential and he could be an added value to this team," continued the 1982 World Cup winner.

"But the need for a powerful striker depends on how the team moves and what the smaller attacking players can offer with their class and speed.

"The important thing is to have attackers in your squad who know were the goal is."
