Gianluigi Buffon flaunts signed Leicester City shirt
A shortage of shirts at the club's official store didn't prevent Claudio Ranieri from getting his hands on one and shipping a signed Leicester City strip to legendary Italian 'keeper Gianluigi Buffon.
The Juventus netminder took to Twitter to show off his new piece of memorabilia as he proudly posed with the white away kit, which looks to have been signed by the stars who led Leicester to the Premier League title.

Ranieri couldn't have timed it better as Buffon posted the photo just hours after signing a new deal to remain with the Serie A champions until 2018.

Earlier this season, Buffon congratulated Leicester City when the Foxes clinched a berth in next season's Champions League competition:
