Speaking on his YouTube channel, Alasdair Gold has been discussing Ivan Perisic and his fitness after the Croatian signed for Tottenham Hotspur.
The former Inter Milan man has joined Tottenham on a free transfer, and while he has undoubted quality, there were some concerns about his age after his arrival.
Indeed, at the age of 33, it’s reasonable to believe that Perisic is over the hill, but according to Gold, the winger is in incredible shape.
The journalist states that everyone has been raving about Perisic’s fitness, stating that he has the body of a 20-year-old, despite being 33.
What’s been said?
Gold spoke about Perisic’s fitness.
“Spurs have signed two players before the transfer window has opened, it’s really weird. They’ve both been free transfers, but they are much-needed free transfers. Ivan Perisic is going to be a superb signing, the more I hear about his fitness, everyone says that he’s got a 20-year-old’s body essentially, so he will be superb,” Gold said.
Perfect for Conte
Antonio Conte demands that his players are in incredible shape, and it looks as though Perisic ticks that box.
The Croatian is seemingly in the best shape of his career, and after working with Conte at Inter, he should have no problems in re-adapting to the Italian’s gruelling training regime.
Perisic may not be a long-term signing for Tottenham, but if he carries his Serie A form into the Premier League, he could be an inspired addition for Spurs.
