Tottenham sign Perisic on free transfer

Tottenham have completed the signing of Inter Milan winger, Ivan Perisic on a free transfer.

The 33-year-old signed a two-year deal after completing a medical to reunite with former boss, Antonio Conte.

He will officially join the North London club after the expiration of his contract at San Siro on June 30.

The Croatian’s contract with Tottenham is Antonio Conte’s first signing of the summer.

Perisic reportedly said, when he “got in contact with the coach and the sporting director, I told them I had really wanted to come to the Premier League since 2009 when I started playing professional football in Belgium.

“It’s a privilege to work with a coach like Antonio. It was a perfect year at Inter, I am very pleased to see him again.

“He lives football every minute, every hour and every day, even when he’s sleeping he’s thinking about it.

“I was watching the last two or three games and, after the win against Arsenal, it was obvious Tottenham would reach the Champions League, and it was good for me because I want to play in the biggest games.”
