Pelle's big boost after flirtation with Italian squad


SOUTHAMPTON England (Reuters) - Southampton's new powerhouse striker Graziano Pelle has hit the Premier League running and is full of confidence after four goals in five competitive matches propelled him to the fringes of the Italian squad, Saints boss Ronald Koeman told reporters.

Pelle, who has represented Italy at under-21 level but never won a full cap, inched closer to that honour this month when he was included on a "long list" for the Azzurri's friendly with the Netherlands, and the Euro 2016 qualifier against Norway earlier this month.
