Former Juventus midfielder Edgar Davids has heaped praise on his former club captain Alessandro Del Piero.

Del Piero is set to leave Juventus after a staggering 19 years with the club. His former teammate Davids said he is in no doubt as to Del Piero's legendary status for club and country.

"Football will never see another Alessandro Del Piero," Davids told Goal.com.

"Juventus will never be able to buy a similar player.
