With the addition of striker Mario Balotelli to the Rossoneri ranks, the January signing from Parma insists Massimiliano Allegri's men have "the best strike force in Italy"

Cristian Zaccardo believes that AC Milan have the best attack in Serie A with players such as Mario Balotelli and Stephan El Shaarawy.

The defender joined the Rossoneri from Parma in the January transfer window, and he feels his new team have more firepower than any other club in Italy.

"I think we have the best strike force in Italy," Zaccardo was quoted as saying on the club's official website.

"We have Balotelli who is world class. Mario does some great things in training and he will be very useful.

"We have a very young attack that can do very well. El Shaarawy is extremely quick, Balotelli is a complete player, while [M'Baye] Niang is an excellent player for his age as well.

"And that's not forgetting the likes of Robinho, [Giampaolo] Pazzini and Bojan [Krkic]."

Milan have netted 41 goals in 20 games so far, with only Roma, Juventus and Napoli scoring more.
