The striker joined Southampton after failing to hold down a starting role at his old club, but insists his goal record proves he made an impact there
New Southampton striker Manolo Gabbiadini fired a parting shot at his detractors at Napoli, stating his stats prove he was not a failure.
The Italy striker signed a four-and-a-half-year contract at St Mary's Stadium after arriving for a reported club-record fee of £17 million.
Once regarded as one of the most promising starlets of Italian football, Gabbiadini had flattered to deceive at Napoli despite a respectable maiden season at the San Paolo.
