According to The Guardian, Barcelona are favourites to sign Tottenham Hotspur target Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan in the summer transfer window.

It has been reported that Tottenham are monitoring Perisic, who is on loan at Bayern Munich from Inter at the moment.

Bayern are favourites to secure the services of the Croatia international winger on a permanent contract, but Spurs head coach Jose Mourinho is ‘a big admirer’ and wanted to sign him for Manchester United.

Stats

Perisic made 11 starts and 11 substitute appearances in the Bundesliga for Bayern this past season, scoring four goals and providing three assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

The winger has also made two starts and four substitute appearances in the Champions League for the German giants this campaign, scoring one goal and providing three assists in the process, according to WhoScored.

Good signing for Tottenham Hotspur?

Perisic is a very experienced footballer who scores goals and creates chances as a winger.

With Mourinho reportedly a big admirer of the Croatia international, the 31-year-old would not have find any problem in settling in at Spurs if he makes the switch to Tottenham Hotspur Stadium this summer.
