Former Juventus striker Alessandro Del Piero is reportedly set to play his football in India.

The 2006 World Cup winner will become the latest marquee signing for the Indian Super League, joining the Delhi Dynamos franchise, according to Sky Sports News.

The 39-year-old will also become an ambassador for the league, having held a similar position during his time at Sydney FC in the Australian A-League.

Other marquee signings to join the league alongside Del Piero include two of Arsenal's 'invincible' side in the form of Robert Pires and Freddie Ljungberg.

The league consists of eight teams and will start its inaugural two-month season on October 12, concluding on December 20 later this year.
