As we told you earlier in the day, it's been a good day for Gianluigi Buffon.

The goalkeeping legend has penned another deal with Juventus, extending his stay with the Turin giants until 2018. And with the ink still drying on his new contract, Buffon received a gift from his countryman, Claudio Ranieri. The Leicester manager sent the 38-year-old a Foxes shirt, with the message 'To Gigi, our legend' written on the front next to the team's signatures. Buffon seemed pretty chuffed with his present, showing it off in the following tweet. https://twitter.com/gianluigibuffon/status/730442423931908100 'A day of special signatures,' Buffon's tweet reads. 'Mine with Juve until 2018 and those of Leicester. Thanks Mister Ranieri!' Click snap
