Saints enquire for £19m Napoli forward

According to The Daily Mail, Southampton have made an enquiry about Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini.

Southampton, Crystal Palace and Stoke are all thought to have enquired about the forward ahead of a potential summer move. Gabbiadini could be looking for a way out of the club, with his chances limited.

With Gonzalo Higuain scoring at such a consistent rate, it has been hard for Gabbiadini to stake his claim for a spot. This now looks like it could lead him toward a move to England.

The 24-year-old scored nine goals throughout the course of the season, despite not having much game-time. Southampton are thought to be interested as they look to bolster their options ahead of a Europa League campaign next season.

The Italian international is thought to be valued at £19m by Napoli, a fee which would eclipse Southampton’s record transfer. Would Ronald Koeman be willing to spend big this summer?
