Tottenham are a team to ‘watch out’ for this summer as clubs line up to sign Inter Milan’s Ivan Perisic.
That’s according to Tuttosport, who say that Antonio Conte would ‘gladly re-embrace’ his former player at his new club.
The newspaper looks at Perisic’s future, with the suitors lining up after a superb season for the 33-year-old Croatian.
He’s managed seven goals and seven assists in 34 games in Serie A this season, playing as a left-wing back and with his contract expiring this summer, there are plenty of clubs looking at taking him.
They’re currently focusing on deals for Paul Pogba and Angel Di Maria, but when they’re done, they will concentrate on other opportunities like Perisic.
That would be a controversial move, but it is not his only option, with Tuttosport stating that Tottenham are also a side to ‘watch out’ for.
That’s because Conte, who Perisic made 42 appearances for during his time at Inter, managing five goals and five assists, ‘would gladly re-embrace his former pupil.’
That’s presumably because of his reinvigoration as a wing-back, which would see him fit perfectly into the system Conte employs.
Indeed the left-wing back position has been a problem since he arrived, and perhaps an old acquaintance like Perisic, particularly after this season, could be a cheap option to solve it.
