Gabbiadini had joined Southampton in early 2017 from Napoli for a fee in the region of £14 million. He scored four goals in his first three Premier League games for the Saints and scored twice in the League Cup final against Manchester United.
After that spell of four in three games, Gabbiadini could score only six more Premier League goals. He left the club to join Sampdoria in January 2019.
What do we think?
One can only hope that Gabbiadini gets well soon and gets back onto the pitch for the Blucerchiati. He has already contributed to nine goals in all competitions so far this season.
