Inter striker Samuel Eto'o believes team-mate Mario Balotelli can become the best striker in the game.


Balotelli has faced criticism in the past for his approach to the game, but the former Barcelona star believes he has the potential to become the world's greatest forward. 

"I always give Mario good advice. Everyone knows his qualities," Eto'o told La Gazzetta Dello Sport.

"He has a pure talent for his age, and I think he can become the best within a couple of years. It's down to him to meet all his expectations."
