A former Premier League star has made a stunning return to football, nine years after completing the unlikely career switch into the music industry.
The Argentinian-born former Italy international turned out for the likes of Atalanta, Fiorentina, Roma and Southampton during his career and was even the Saints' record signing when he moved to St Mary's for £15million in 2013.
However, the striker would endure a torrid spell and depart in 2016 after a series of loan spells before eventually retiring following brief stints with Porto and Boca Juniors.
The 39-year-old then focused on a music career with his band Barrio Viejo despite being offered a two-year contract with Serie A club Chievo, which he turned down.
