In joining Southampton, he will be teaming up with his former Feyenoord coach, Ronald Koeman, who is the new manager of the club.

Ronald Koeman said about signing his former Feyenoord star striker,
''I had Graziano in my team for my last years at Feyenoord. He scored a lot of goals - more than 50 in two seasons and they brought a lot of points to the club.''
