da betobet： As reported by The Daily Mirror, Claude Puel is interested in bringing Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini to St Mary’s this month.
What’s the story?
da cassino online： Southampton are on a three game losing streak and having just lost Charlie Austin to a long-term shoulder injury, badly need a proven striker to come in and stick their chances away.
The Mirror reckon Puel has identified his main target, Italian international Manolo Gabbiadini.
The paper say that the 25 year old striker could cost up to £17m and that the likes of Everton and Wolfsburg are also interested, which could provide stumbling blocks.
Who is Gabbiadini?
Manolo Gabbiadini is in his third season at Napoli and isn’t finding first-team football a guarantee, starting just seven league games this campaign. He has featured in the Champions League this season, netting in Napoli’s 3-2 loss to Besiktas.
In a division notorious for tight games that are defined by defensive play, Gabbiadini has managed to score 22 goals in 71 appearances for Napoli during the three-year spell. Previously he starred for Sampdoria and has also made six outings for the Italian national side.
At 6ft. 2″, he certainly has the physical presence to make an impact on the Premier League and is known for his heading ability and hold-up play, alongside his eye for goal.
Only Hull and Middlesbrough have scored less goals this season than Southampton and a reported £17m move for Gabbiadini represents good value for a player who has Champions League experience and international caps for Italy. At 25, he’s a striker who is coming into his prime and could solve the Saints striking woes.
