The Italian striker has been linked with a move to the south coast ever since the summer and with the speculation speeding up in recent times, it looks as though Saints’ interest in Gabbiadini is stronger than ever.
Saints have been woeful in front of goal this season in the Premier League, with very few sides scoring less than them, and this was only made worse by the injury to star striker Charlie Austin’s shoulder.
Gabbiadini has notched just three Serie A goals this season but hasn’t really been given enough playing time for Napoli, with his appearances mainly coming from the bench under Maurizio Sarri.
