Forza Italian Football are reporting our interest in Alberto Paloschi. This may well be a realistic option for us.
Premier League side Swansea City have joined the queue of Serie A sides eager to sign Chievo striker Alberto Paloschi.
The Swans recently appointed Francesco Guidolin as their new coach, and the former Udinese boss has reportedly expressed his desire to bring the 26-year-old to Wales in an attempt to improve the team’s scoring record as they have only found the net on 22 occasions in the 2015-16 season.
According to Sky Sport Italia, Swansea have increased their previous offer to €8 million plus €2m in bonuses in order to beat Atalanta, who have seen their bid of €7m plus €1m in bonuses rejected.
Sampdoria have also been linked to the player, as they could soon lose their forward Eder, with the likes of Leicester City and Inter keen on the Brazilian-born Italy international.
Paloschi has scored eight goals in 21 Serie A appearances so far, closing in on his 2013-2014 record of 13 league goals.

One would think that if, as reported, Guidolin specifically asked for the player to be brought in, this could be a very good signing. Last time this kind of thing happened was when Laudrup was asking for players, and most of those turned out well.

Agreed. How it should be, fingers crossed he's a good one, decent enough scoring record and was at Milan so would think he's been coached well throughout his career.

And this is what my good mate and massive Naples fan just texted me.
"Guidolin is very expert, his team always plays well. You are going to do a great Premier League but he need time because he doesn't train since a couple of years."
