Gianluigi Buffon has praised Tottenham transfer target, Paulo Dybala, on Instagram, who is set to leave Juventus at the end of the season.

Who will sign Dybala during the summer transfer window? Well, that remains to be seen, as Spurs are one of the rumoured targets.

Over the weekend, Dybala said an emotional goodbye to Juventus, after playing his final home game against Lazio – he won’t be signing a new deal.

Legendary goalkeeper Buffon watched Dybala grow into a superstar in Turin, as he wished the 28-year-old ‘good luck for the future’.

The Parma goalkeeper posted on Instagram: “We defended the same colours. We wore the same shirt. We experienced the same emotions and rejoiced in many victories together. Paulo, good luck for your future.”

TOTTENHAM’S CHANCES OF LANDING DYBALA INCREASED AFTER ARSENAL DEFEAT ON MONDAY?

Given the level of player Dybala is, he surely will want to sign for a team in the Champions League next season.

Now, a number of months ago, that seemed unlikely for Spurs, but Antonio Conte’s magic has transformed the north London outfit.

Following Arsenal’s defeat at Newcastle United on Monday night, all Tottenham need now is a point at already-relegated Norwich on the final day of the Premier League campaign and they will finish fourth.

That will surely increase their chances of landing the versatile attacker, who will have many European clubs lining up to secure his signature when his contract expires.
