Tottenham Hotspur are interested in signing Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic, claims the Daily Express journalist Ryan Taylor.

The Lowdown: Perisic’s contract

The 33-year-old is currently set to be out of contract in the summer following a six-year stint with the Serie A side. The winger has amassed 245 appearances in an Inter shirt, scoring 50 goals and producing 46 assists.

Of course, the Croatia international won the Italian top flight with now Lilywhites boss Antonio Conte last season.

As a result, with the attacker’s contract set to expire, a number of rumours have arisen linking the Croatian with a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium.

The Latest: Taylor’s news…

According to Ryan Taylor of Express Sport, Tottenham are waiting to see what happens with Perisic’s contract situation. Taking to Twitter, he claimed:

“Tottenham one of several clubs (from Eng & Ger) waiting to discover whether Ivan Perišić will extend his contract with Inter Milan. Croatian won Scudetto under Antonio Conte & could be available on free transfer. Spurs open to exploring deal, providing numbers make sense.”

The Verdict: Good signing

Given his experience in the big leagues across Europe, Perisic would be a good signing for Conte’s Lilywhites side.

The winger has previously been hailed by former Inter boss Luciano Spalletti as an “incredible professional both physically and mentally”, who even rather bizarrely claimed that he has the “physique of a horse”, suggesting he should still have a few more years in him at a high level.

Therefore, on a free transfer, a player of this stature can only be of good use to this Tottenham’s squad, especially with multiple fronts to hopefully compete on next season.
