AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has heaped praise on Mario Balotelli following the striker's return to the club.

The 25-year-old moved to the Serie A outfit last week on a season-long loan from Liverpool, and Galliani has admitted that he is impressed with his change in attitude.

"He has an extraordinary attitude, he's changed radically," he told Sky Sport Italia.

"He's the first to arrive at Milanello and the last to leave. [Sinisa] Mihajlovic often wants the players to have breakfast at 8.30am, and he's always there before eight.

"He's probably realised that this is his last chance and I'm sure he won't waste it. His technical ability has never been in question. If he continues with the approach he's had in this first week then he'll be fine."

Balotelli scored 30 goals in 54 games during his previous spell at Milan.
