Lazio 'preparing summer swoop for Southampton forward Manolo Gabbiadini'

Serie A club Lazio are reportedly interested in signing Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini this summer.

The 26-year-old has struggled for goals this campaign, having netted just four times in 25 Premier League appearances.

According to Tuttosport, Lazio are keeping tabs on the former Napoli forward, and are willing to loan Gabbiadini with an option to buy after a certain number of appearances.

Despite being joint-top scorers with Juventus in the Italian top tier this season, fifth-placed Lazio are looking to add extra firepower to their attacking line with the potential signing of Gabbiadini.

The Italian has only scored once in his last 10 outings in all competitions.
