Milo Eyes Balotelli for WCup squad

MILAN (AP) -Ghana coach Milovan Rajevac is hoping to recruit Inter Milan striker Mario Balotelli for his World Cup squad.

The son of Ghanian immigrants, Balotelli was born and raised in Italy and is currently a member of the Azzurri's under-21 side.

Rajevac told Wednesday's Gazzetta dello Sport that he plans to visit with Balotelli after this week's World Cup draw in South Africa.

It could be a good time for such a pitch, with Balotelli the subject of racial taunts during games in Italy lately and unhappy with his lack of playing time at Inter.

Rajevac said, "I'm content with the strikers we have, but Balotelli's skills are exceptional.''
