Blackburn, QPR move for departing Juventus icon Del Piero

A Premier League move could be on for unwanted Juventus icon Alessandro del Piero.

The Daily Mail says Blackburn Rovers and QPR are leading the way in England in the chase for Italian legend Del Piero.

The 37-year-old Juventus star has been told he will not have his contract renewed at the end of the current campaign, yet he remains determined to continue playing.
