Arsenal transfers: Chelsea challenge Gunners for Khedira, second summer deal on verge of completion and Ozil’s generosity

Attacking target Mario Balotelli staying at AC Milan

After weeks of speculation it looks as if Italy striker Balotelli will be staying at the San Siro after all, despite interest from the Gunners and Liverpool.

Reports in the Mirror says that despite supposedly being unhappy at Milan the 23-year-old has been included in the club’s pre-season tour of the USA.

Balotelli netted 14 Serie A goals in 30 matches last season and was thought to be the ideal competition to Olivier Giroud at the Emirates.
