Struggling since the start of the season to find the back of the net, Manolo Gabbiadini himself admitted on Twitter this weekend he’s having a tough time in his career, and thanked fans for their support regardless.
In a show of confidence for his Italian striker, Maurizio Sarri started him over the weekend against Bologna, but his inability to find the back of the net saw him come off in the 63rd minute when the score was 1-1.
To make matters even worse, the man replacing him, Arkadiusz Milik, scored two goals in 29 minutes to see off their opposition 3-1 and ensure Napoli remained top of Serie A at the end of week four.
Despite struggling for confidence, Gazzetta dello Sport report the club are still ready to show their trust in the 24-year-old as they look to extend his contract until 2021.
A transfer target for Everton late into the transfer window, Gabbiadini saw a potential move to Goodison Park stopped on deadline day.
Gazzetta claim the player will see him get a base wage of £41k/week, which could increase to just under £50k/week with bonuses.
An extra incentive to help their prodigy get on the scoresheet, perhaps?
