Nice coach Lucien Favre believes Mario Balotelli is on track to return to the top level after another brace in Ligue 1.
The Italian forward struck twice as Nice crushed Monaco 4-0 to move top of the table.
After a poor spell at Liverpool, and on loan at AC Milan, Balotelli has netted four times in two league games for Nice.
Favre feels the 26-year-old is slowly showing the level he can play at.
