West Ham United have been listed as one of a number of Premier League suitors for Napoli striker Manolo Gabbiadini, according to Italian journalist Gianluca Di Marzio.

The Hammers are in the market for a new number nine, with the Italy international potentially fitting the bill.

Gabbiadini is well regarded in his homeland and was lethal during his time with Sampdoria, forging a venerable reputation with his speed and ability to finish.

However, since a move to Napoli the 24-year-old has had to play second fiddle to Gonzalo Higuain and as such spends most of his time on the sidelines.

Gabbiadini was afforded only four Serie A starts in 2015-16 and as such is being touted with a move away from the Stadio San Paulo.

West Ham, Tottenham and Stoke are all believed to be keeping tabs on the striker, with a number of other European sides also accredited with an interest.
