Brendan Rogers says Balotelli is working a Lions to end goal quest

Liverpool Manager Brendan Rogers has revealed that the rate at which their new top man Mario Balotelli is working hard is quite impressive.

"He is a really good boy and is so keen to impress," the Northern Irishman commented to the Liverpool Echo on his final signing of the summer transfer window.

"He is doing his best and has worked very hard during the international break. Mario has worked like a lion over the past fortnight. Nobody is more determined than him to show his value and worth."
