Tottenham are set to pay tribute to their late fitness coach Gian Piero Ventrone at the weekend.

Spurs take on Brighton in the Premier League on Saturday, as they look to bounce back from a derby defeat to Arsenal last weekend.

Per Evening Standard, the club's players will warm-up with t-shirts that bear the slogan “Always in our hearts - Gian Piero" in English and Italian.

The message will be accompanied by the players wearing black armbands during the match.

In addition, a minute's applause will take place for Ventrone, who passed away from acute leukemia following a sudden illness at 61.

Everyone at the club, including head coach Antonio Conte, are said to be devastated by his passing.
