Graziano Pelle admits that Ronald Koeman is one of the crucial reasons why he agreed to join Southampton.
The Italian striker joined the Saints from Feyenoord earlier this summer and signed a three-year contract with the club.
The 28-year-old admits that he is missing Feyenoord and at some point in his career he wants to return to the Dutch outfit.
Pelle joined Feyenoord from Parma, initially on loan, in 2012, and the move was made permanent last summer.
"I absolutely miss Feyenoord", Pelle told Helden Online.

"It's the best club I've ever had in my life. I really miss the club and hopefully one day I will return to Feyenoord.”
Pelle scored 55 goals in 66 appearances for the club and his goalscoring record convinced Koeman to bring the striker to Southampton when he joined the club from Feyenoord earlier this year.
"Of course, Ronald Koeman is one of the reasons why I have chosen Southampton and together with the fact that the Premier League is one of the best leagues in the world.”
