Moise Kean, the Juventus talent on Arsenal's radar, idolised Mario Balotelli and was an AC Milan fan growing up, his brother Giovanni Kean has revealed.
Kean has been turning heads with his performances in the youth ranks at Juventus, but the Turin giants are fearful about losing the 16-year-old, who has yet to pen a professional contract with the club.
Arsene Wenger's Arsenal have been consistently linked with the striker, while Manchester City are also alive to his potential.
And Kean may be attracted to following in his idol's footsteps by heading to taste the Premier League, though he is also an admirer of AC Milan, Giovanni says, something which may fuel future rumours of a switch to the San Siro.
Moise's brother told Soccerweb24: "His idol was always Balotelli and he is a huge Rossonero."

The young striker has been promoted to Juventus' first team this term and, in addition to still turning out for the club's youth teams, has featured in Serie A and the Champions League.
Kean was handed six minutes of Champions League action against Sevilla on Tuesday, while last weekend he clocked up the same number of minutes against Pescara in Serie A, a 3-0 win for Juventus.
