Italian international set for presentation on Monday afternoon.
New Southampton striker Pablo Osvaldo is set to be officially unveiled by the club, with his media presentation taking place on Monday afternoon.
The 27-year-old has completed a €15m move to St Mary’s from Roma, with reports suggesting that the figure will continue to rise with performance-related bonuses.
The Italian international enjoyed a mixed time in the Italian capital, where he impressed with his goals but faced a number of disciplinary issues which included tense relations with certain team-mates, former coaches and the supporters.
However, he will look to put that behind him as he prepares for his Premier League adventure, where he will be reunited with former boss Mauricio Pochettino after their time together at Espanyol.
The striker scored 16 goals in Serie A last season and will likely provide a huge boost for his new club as they look to avoid relegation and improve on their league finish from last year.
Here’s the first image of Osvaldo at St Mary’s ahead of his media presentation:
