Southampton managed to push through a club-record deal to bring Manolo Gabbiadini to the South Coast on Deadline Day from Napoli, giving Claude Peul’s side a huge boost in attack and seeing the Saints secure a real coup.The Italian international may have struggled forÂopportunities at Napoli this season but he still made a positive impression at the Stadio San Paolo, shown by the average contribution made by the 25-year-old forward.
Scoring a goal or creating a chance every 104 minutes on average, Gabbiadini will prove to be a huge asset to the Saints as he’s capable of playing centrally or out-wide in attack, as well as being deadly from a dead-ball situation.
With six caps for Italy,Âwith the last coming in 2015, Gabbiadini is experienced at the top-level of football and positive performances from him could see the forward push his way back into the national set-up in time for the World Cup that’s less than 18 months away.
