The Croatia star reportedly interests not only the Hammers but also Mauricio Pochettino’s Spurs and the Gunners of Unai Emery.
West Ham United have joined London and Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur in the race to sign Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic, according to a report from Italy.
Spurs have been linked with Perisic since the summer of 2018, when FC Inter News reported that they had made contact with the Croatia international’s agent.
Tuttomercatoweb, meanwhile, reported that Mauricio Pochettino is still keen to bring the former Borussia Dortmund and Wolfsburg attacker to North London in the off-season.
However, Italian newspaper Gazzetta dello Sport has now claimed that the Hammers have now thrown their name in the hat for Perisic, who is also believed to be on the radar of Arsenal.
The report goes on to say that the 30-year-old is keen to leave the San Siro because “he feels that certain dynamics cannot be changed”, which seems to hint at a dressing room fallout.
In terms of a price tag for Perisic, both Transfermarkt and Tuttomercatoweb have him down as £31.5million, a considerable depreciation from the £70million The Sun suggested he was worth last summer.
The 2018 World Cup finalist is contracted to the Serie A side until 2022 and has made 156 appearances in all competitions, scoring 37 goals and registering 37 assists according to Transfermarkt.
