Manolo Gabbiadini’s agent has told Tuttomercatoweb the striker is happy at Southampton.

Gabbiadini signed for Southampton in January 2017 for £14 million and made an immediate impact, nearly firing the club to EFL Cup victory.

He struggled last season making only 11 Premier League starts and 17 appearances from the bench, scoring five goals.

Gabbiadini’s agent Silvio Pagliari insists the Italian is happy at Southampton, although he is not ruling anything out completely.

He said: “We will continue the Premier experience. He is young and I do not think there are any possibilities for his return [to Italy].

“In the market everything can happen even if the relationship is strong with Southampton.”

Pagliari is perhaps accepting that there is not a big market to bring the former Napoli attacker back to Italy after a disappointing campaign.

He scored the crucial goal to help beat Swansea City in early May, a striker which saved the Saints from relegation.

This helped put a positive spin on an otherwise underwhelming campaign, and under new boss Mark Hughes he is hoping he has done enough to earn more chances.
