Kolo Toure is backing Liverpool to see the best of Mario Balotelli.
Toure predicts Balotelli will prove to be an excellent addition to the Liverpool squad.
The Ivorian knows all about the talents of the Reds' new No.45 having played with him during their time at Manchester City.
"I thought he was fantastic against Spurs," Toure told liverpoolfc.com of Balotelli's debut. "He's a great player and we know he can score goals. We are all happy that he has come to Liverpool.
"He's more mature now. You can see that with his behaviour on the pitch - chasing the ball and fighting for the team.
"Mario is a great player and we're all happy to have him here.
"He can help make the difference this season in a team with many great young players.
"There's not just Mario, Raheem [Sterling] was amazing at Tottenham and so were Jordan [Henderson] and Joe Allen in the middle. The spirit is fantastic at this football club.
"Becoming part of this team will enable Mario to show his qualities. He's going to be playing alongside good players and will enjoy every game."
