Spurs lining up bid to sign Juventus star

Former Chelsea boss Gianluca Vialli has told Sky Italia that Spurs are interested in signing Pirlo on a free transfer at the end of the season.

Vialli said: “I heard the rumours from London that there are contacts between Pirlo and Tottenham for next season.”

Reports have suggested that Pirlo may be ready to quit Juventus and test himself in England or Spain.

Pirlo’s current contract with Juventus is set to expire at the end of the season.
