Napoli’s versatile forward Manolo Gabbiadini is interesting several Premier League clubs, one of which is Southampton.

The 25-year-old moved to Naples in the January transfer window of 2015 from fellow Serie A side Sampdoria, and has since netted 24 times in 76 games for the club.

His recent form has been excellent, having scored in each of his last three games – the latest coming in Napoli’s 3-1 victory over Spezia in the Coppa Italia on Tuesday.

Nonetheless, Gabbiadini has only started seven times in Serie A this season, and looks set to move this month, with Premier League and Bundesliga interest rife.

However, given Southampton’s striker issues following Charlie Austin’s long-term injury, the experienced Italian international could be exactly what Puel is looking for ahead of the second half of the season.
