#4 Mario Balotelli:

Mario Balotelli started his Nice career on a high

The mercurial striker cannot stay out of the news for a long time as he started his Ligue 1 career in fine fashion, scoring two goals for Nice in their 3-2 win over Marseille. Later, he termed his spell at Liverpool as the worst decision of his life as he blamed Brendan Rodgers and Jurgen Klopp rather than himself for his sad spell in England.

The Italian slotted home a penalty and then scored a thumping header from six yards as he scored the first two goals for the southern France club. Balotelli can become the poster boy of French league after the departure of Zlatan Ibrahimovic if he continues scoring goals for Nice.
