Premier League: Tottenham Hotspur sign Ivan Perisic from Inter
He has signed a two-year contract and becomes manager Antonio Conte’s first major close-season signing as the north London club prepare for a return to the Champions League next term, having finished fourth in the Premier League.
Perisic, who can play as a left wing-back or even up front, won the Serie A title under Conte with Inter in 2020-21.
He needs no introduction to England fans, having scored the equaliser for Croatia in the World Cup semi-final in 2018 when England were beaten 2-1 after extra time.
✍️ We are delighted to announce the transfer of Ivan Perišić.
Welcome to Spurs, Ivan! 💙

Premier League: Ivan Perisic joins former Inter boss at Spurs
Perisic has vast experience across European football, having won the Bundesliga and DFB-Pokal with Borussia Dortmund in 2012, before moving to Wolfsburg in 2013.
He added a second DFB-Pokal and DFL-Supercup to his trophy cabinet with Wolfsburg prior to joining Inter two years later.
Perisic, who has played 113 times for Croatia, was then sent on loan to Bayern Munich in the 2019-20 season, winning the Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League.
He returned to Conte’s Inter the following season and was utilised across a range of positions from wing-back to forward as the Nerazzurri secured the Scudetto.
Inter fell just short of Milan this season in Serie A despite Perisic scoring 10 goals and providing nine assists across all competitions, and he will now look to add Premier League honours to his illustrious haul of trophies.
