Mario Balotelli's ex-fiancee switches allegiances to West Ham's Cheikhou Kouyate
The Premier League's summer transfer window closes in a week's time, but one move that won't appear on a team sheet is Mario Balotelli's ex-fiancee Fanny Neguesha swapping a Liverpool kit for a West Ham Cheikhou Kouyate No. 8.
The Belgian model and media personality was at Upton Park for West Ham's thrilling 4-3 loss to Bournemouth on Saturday, posting pictures on her Instagram of herself in a Hammers kit.
The 25-year-old model also posted a photo of a dessert garnished with the Sengalese international midfielder's name and squad number.
Kouyate's Instagram profile picture is Neguesha wearing the West Ham jersey.
Neither Neguesha or Kouyate have confirmed that they're in a relationship. Neguesha and Balotelli split up in 2014.
Balotelli's time at Liverpool has seen the Italian international make only 21 appearances for the Reds in all competitions, scoring three goals.
The striker has yet to appear in a match for Brendan Rodgers' squad this season and has not traveled with the team for away matches, compounding issues by being forced to train alone.
Relief may not be far away for Balotelli, as reports have surfaced that he could join AC Milan on loan before this summer's transfer window closes Sept. 1.
