Southampton striker Gabbiadini admits he is planning to return to Italy

The Saints forward insists that is enjoying life in the Premier League following a winter switch, but concedes that he will head home at some point

Manolo Gabbiadini harbours an ambition to return to Italy at some stage in his career, but is in no rush to end his English adventure with Southampton.

The Italy striker opted to make the switch to the St Mary's Stadium in January after a frustrating two-year period at Napoli in which he was largely consigned to a bit-part role.

Gabbiadini scored four Premier League goals in 11 appearances and was also on the scoresheet twice as Saints lost the EFL Cup final 3-2 to Manchester United.
