Mario Balotelli has not had an opportunity to don football boots in a match yet this season - granted Liverpool are just about to play their second game of the campaign against Bournemouth tonight.

But it looks like he'll be spending plenty of time on the sidelines unless he can find a new club.

With plenty of time on his hands - and for his feet - a special edition PUMA evoPOWER boots for kids, complete with a Balotelli-esque mohawk, have been released by the sportswear firm:
