Werder Bremen defender welcomes potential signing of Sampdoria forward

Werder Bremen defender Luca Caldirola has welcomed the possible arrival of Sampdoria forward Manolo Gabbiadini in Germany next season.

Gabbiadini is currently being linked with a move to Bremen, and Caldirola believes that his former Azzurrini team-mate would be an excellent addition.

“I know that [Bremen general manager] Thomas Eichin knows him well,” the 23-year-old centre-back told Bild.

“He is a very good player, it would be good if he comes – for me!

“I am sure that he would also help us in this league, we are friends.”

Gabbiadini, who is co-owned Juventus, currently has 8 goals and 3 assists for Samp in Serie A this season.
