. The Croatian will join Spurs as a free agent. The 33-year-old will work with his former boss

Antonio Conte

again, and Spurs are reportedly very close to announcing that they have signed the Croatian on a 2-year contract.

During his time as Inter manager, Conte used Perisic as a wing-back. This helped the former

player get back into form. Emerson Royal, Matt Doherty, Sergio Reguilon, and Ryan Sessegnon will have to play against him next season. Perisic can play on either side because he has two good feet. He can also fill in for Heung-Min Son and
