Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero confesses his affection for the Premier League.

Veteran Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero has admitted that he would like to play in the Premier League before he retires from the the game.

The Old Lady confirmed last month that the 37-year-old will be leaving the club at the end of the current season when his contact expires.

Tottenham, Everton and Blackburn have all since been linked with moves for the 2006 World Cup winner, who has scored 185 Serie A goals.

In what appears a 'come and get me' plea, Del Piero has confessed that a move to the English top flight would tempt him.

"I have to confess a secret," he told France Football. "I love the Premier League. What a great league.

"Of course I would like to play there before retiring from football.

"I might be 37 years old but I don't have a time limit. I want to continue playing football."

Del Piero joined Juve in 1993.
