Who’s in the running to earn promotion from League Two this season? Tom Powell previews the betting.

Mario Balotelli’s agent claims the transfer to Manchester City will be completed but admitted that talks are at a “delicate” phase.

Although there have been reports of a disupute over wages, Balotelli’s agent, Mino Raiola, is confident a deal can be done.

“As long as there’s hope, there’s life,” Raiola told Sky Italia. “He’s calm but anxious to come to an agreement – that’s normal for a lad of 19. We’re working and we’re hoping.

“We are in a delicate phase of the deal, but I am continuing with my work. It could take a long time, but in the end it will be done.”

It is claimed a €30 million deal – rising to €35 million with bonuses – has been agreed between the clubs.
