Saints Linked With Sunderland Winger

Saints are reportably looking to sign Sunderland's Italian wide man Emanuele Giaccherini before the World Cup.

If rumours from the North East have any substance Saints will offer Sunderland £5 million for Italian International Emanuele Giaccherini.

Giaccherini joined the Black Cats for £6.5 million from Juventus last summer, Saints fans will remember him from Sunderland's visit earlier in the season when he scored their goal in the 1-1 draw.

But overall for one reason or another Giaccherini hasnt been a great success in the North East and having just turned 29 and with Gus Poyet looking to mould his own side, its believed that he could be surplus to requirements at Sunderland and they would be willing to move him on for something near the fee they paid a year ago.

It could be an astute buy for Saints, they certainly need options out wide and the Italian International also has an eye for goal with 4 in his 16(8) appearances in the Premier league this season.

Saints are rumoured to be keen to move fast with Giaccherini set to be named in Italy's World Cup squad for the summer
