Manolo Gabbiadini insists he's happy at Southampton.

Gabbiadini admits he wants to continue to grow as a player at Saints, despite rumours of a potential switch back to Italy.

Speaking to an Italian radio station, he said: “I'm still young and I want to grow here. I feel at ease in the Premier League.

“I've done my job and my duty. Next year we will play again in the Premier League and that's all that matters. There's no need to celebrate too much."

The former Sampdoria man admits he is missing the home comforts of Italy, but is equally motivated to make his career at Saints a success.

“I like the passion you feel at the stadium with the fans behaving well and encouraging their team consistently. I miss the good food and the Italian weather, but I'm here to play football," he said.
