Southampton’s Manolo Gabbiadini enjoying life in the Premier League

Show/hide article…

Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini says he is ā€œhappyā€ playing his football in the Premier League.

Gabbiadini arrived in England in January after joining Southampton from Napoli, where he had struggled for game time.

The 25-year-old hopes to represent Italy in next year’s World Cup and feels playing in the Premier League will give him the best opportunity to do so.

ā€œI have no regrets [about being at Napoli], they were two wonderful years,ā€ Gabbiadini told ANSA. "When I think about my experience at Napoli, I’m satisfied with what I did there.

"Sooner or later I will return to play in Italy but not now. I am happy in England, where I am playing in a great league.

ā€œAnd given the competition in attack for Italy, I can have more opportunities in view of the World Cup in 2018.ā€

The most popular transfer routes in football: Southampton to Liverpool not even in top 10!

Show/hide article…

WHICH clubs tend to do the most business with each other in England?

Southampton and Liverpool have gained a reputation recently for doing a lot of deals - and though they have now done nine in total (with eight moving from the south coast to Merseyside), they haven’t broken into the top 10.

In fact, according to the Mirror, 12 pairs of clubs have done 14 or more deals with each other over the years, including seven tied for sixth place.

With Virgil van Dijk’s proposed move to Anfield now off the table, it seems unlikely Liverpool and Southampton will be making any more deals together any time soon.

Virgil van Dijk, Saido Berahino, Wayne Rooney: 10 of the worst botched transfers ever

Show/hide article…

Virgil van Dijk to Liverpool - The Reds made too many overtures towards the Southampton defender, forcing the Saints to threaten taking action. Liverpool backed down and apologised

STARSPORT take you through some of the worst botched transfers in football.

With Virgil van Dijk’s likely move to Liverpool becoming impossible this week, due to the Reds upsetting Southampton, we thought we’d take a look at some of the other proposed deals, or actual deals, that were botched by the clubs involved.

From Chelsea winger Pedro to Manchester United goalkeeper David De Gea, some of football’s biggest names have been involved in transfer cock-ups over the years.

Tottenham, Real Madrid, Southampton, West Brom, QPR and Liverpool all feature too.

Slattery features as Young Lions win Toulon Tournament

Show/hide article…

Callum Slattery was a late substitute as England Under-20s won the Toulon Tournament with a 5-3 penalties victory over Ivory Coast in Aubagne.

The Southampton youngster was introduced on 83 minutes in place of Manchester United’s Demetri Mitchell as the Young Lions retained their title in a penalty shootout after a 1-1 draw in normal time.

Sheffield United’s David Brooks opened the scoring after 14 minutes which looked to have set the Young Lions on their way to a sixth victory from as many matches.

Brooks also earned a penalty just before the break, and although Sheffield Wednesday forward George Hirst couldn’t take advantage from the spot.

And with ten minutes remaining, Ivory Coast got an equaliser with a penalty of their own through Ake Arnaud Loba after Juvenal Agnero was fouled to send the game straight to penalties.

Slattery stepped up to take the fourth penalty for Neil Dewsnip’s men and kept his nerve to score with his spot-kick in the shootout, which England won 5-3.

It marks the second successive year when Saints have had representatives in a Toulon Tournament win, after James Ward-Prowse, Jack Stephens, Nathan Redmond and Matt Targett were all involved in the 2016 success.
