Joe Allen relishing teaming with Mario Balotelli

Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen cannot wait to play alongside Mario Balotelli.

Liverpool midfielder Joe Allen has said that he is relishing playing with Mario Balotelli.

The Reds signed the Italy international from AC Milan for around £16m on Monday, and Wales international Allen is looking forward to teaming up with the forward.

Allen told the Liverpool Echo: "He has that spontaneous edge to him. He's going to give us a massive threat. It's a signing that is another great addition.

"It's credit to the club and all the staff who have worked so hard this summer to strengthen the squad on the back of a positive season. It shows our ambition to take that next step going forward.

"All the additions have settled in quickly. That's been a big positive so far. They've brought plenty of pace and they are going to be a big threat for us throughout the year."

Liverpool travel to Tottenham Hotspur on Sunday.
