Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini is being encouraged to return to Italy at Torino.

Tuttosport is today carrying a public plea to Gabbiadini to quit St Mary's and sign for Toro this summer.

The former Bologna striker is in his second season at Saints.

Just this week, Gabbiadini's agent Silvio Pagliari said: "He wants to fight and do well, but if you're battling against relegation, it means things haven't worked out.

“He is happy in England too and it's an experience worth doing. There is talk of a return to Italy, but I think his future is still in the Premier League."
