Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli believes he was a worthy recipient of Tuttosport's Golden Boy trophy as the best player under the age of 21, claiming he does not even know who fellow contender Jack Wilshere is.Balotelli finished ahead of Arsenal midfielder Wilshere for the Turin sports newspaper's award, and reckons he was a deserving winner."I am delighted to receive this award," said Balotelli to Tuttosport."Who should have won this award but me? Two years ago I finished sixth and a year ago fourth."It was finally my turn."I don't know who Wilshere is but the next time I play against Arsenal I will keep a close eye on him."Perhaps I can show him (Wilshere) the Golden Boy trophy and remind him that I won it!"The 20-year-old Balotelli, who joined City in the summer from Inter Milan, hopes this award will be the first of many as he targets domestic and European success in 2011."My aim is that this prize will, in the near future, transform itself into the Golden Ball Award," he said."To have won this award is a good omen to achieve that."

The Italy international then had a dig at previous winners of the award, including Arsenal's Fábregas, Manchester United's Rooney and Tottenham's Rafael van der Vaart, insisting only one past recipient could claim to be better than him. "There's only one that is a little stronger than me: Messi. All the others are behind me."I am delighted to receive the award, but who should have won it but me? Two years ago I finished sixth and then fourth in 2009. It was finally my turn. My aim is that this prize will transform itself into the Ballon d'Or. To have won this award is a good omen to achieve that."Aside from personal prizes, Balotelli also seems confident of helping his team win the Premier League title this season. "For 2011 I want the Premier League, in order to continue with the tradition I had at Inter of winning three consecutive titles, and to clinch the Europa League, a trophy I have not yet won and a competition where we are considered favourites."
