Alessandro Del Piero has been linked with Queens Park Rangers Football Club.

Having escaped relegation on a dramatic final day, Mark Hughes insists that the Loftus Road club will never again be involved in a scrap for survival in the Premier League.

But with his 19-year association with Juventus set to come to a close, the former Italian international is said to be interested in a move to England next season.
