Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini is a target for Fiorentina, according to Italian reports, but will decline their interest as he looks to prove himself at St Mary’s Stadium.
Gabbiadini has been targeted by a plethora of Serie A clubs in recent months, with the forward lined up for a return to his homeland of Italy.
However, as reinforced by his agent Silvio Pagliari’s comments earlier on this week, it seems the Southampton striker is desperate to make his mark on the Premier League.
Gabbiadini is a well-loved figure by Southampton fans but struggled for confidence in front of goal last season, netting just five times in the Premier League.
The 26-year-old did, however, net Saints’ decisive goal as they defeated Swansea City in the penultimate match of the season, helping Mark Hughes’ side to Premier League safety.
Gabbiadini has so far found the net on two occasions in pre-season and will be hoping to impress in his second full season on the south coast.
