In addition, Harry Kane and Son Heung-min also posted pictures with the 47-year-old, admitting their delight at being able to meet the Juventus legend.

The Spurs boss also added that both Del Pierro and Kane would have benefitted from being able to pick each other’s brains.
When asked about the legendary striker coming to visit him and his colleagues, Conte told Football.London: “Alessandro came here to visit us at the training ground. He was in London as a guest for Sky for the Chelsea vs Juventus game.
“It was good to see him. We played together, I coached him and we won a lot in our career. Good to see him after a long time.
“Yeah but we’re talking about two world-class strikers. It was good for Harry to see Alessandro and it was the same for Alessandro to see him! Alessandro cheered all the players and it was good for us.”
