And he has gone from strength to strength under Pep Guardiola as the Cityzens won the title last season.

Cassano believes Juventus made a terrible decision to let him leave.

“£40million? I wouldn’t have even sold him for £400m.

“It was sporting director Fabio Paratici who sold him.

“He doesn’t even know how he ended up at Tottenham.

“Selling Cancelo is spitting in football’s face.

“He’s a phenomenon, he would make a difference even playing as a striker.”
