Juventus midfielder Andrea Pirlo is reportedly being courted by a string of English sides as speculation rumbles on over his future with the Bianconeri.

Pirlo's contract at Juve expires next summer, with the Old Lady yet to open negotiations over a new deal for their midfield linchpin.

The 34-year-old has been linked with a host of European sides including Real Madrid, but Tottenham Hotspur have shown an interest alongside other leading Premier League clubs, according to Milannews.it.

Former Juve striker Gianluca Vialli was first to reveal Tottenham's interest in Pirlo last week, declaring that there had been contact between the two parties over a potential deal.

Spurs are not thought to be the only English club courting Pirlo's services, with Manchester City, Chelsea and Liverpool also mentioned in connection with the Azzurrri playmaker.

Pirlo is currently on international duty with Cesare Prandelli's side, ahead of Italy's final World Cup qualifier against Armenia.
