Pictures of Mario Balotelli arrive at Liverpool airport in RED boots ahead of £16m switch from AC Milan.

Mario Balotelli touches down at John Lennon Airport as he prepares to complete a £16m move to Liverpool.

The madcap Italian striker was dressed in some eye-popping red boots as he was ferried off in a car after arriving.

His move from AC Milan is yet to be finalised but channeling Ted from How I Met Your Mother with his red footwear on show, Balotelli could be making his clearest statement yet he is a new Liverpool man.

The Italian is expected to be at the Etihad tonight to see his new team-mates take on his old Manchester City chums.
