There will certainly be a fair few Premier League clubs on red alert with Ivan Perisic reportedly set to depart Inter at the end of the season.

Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic is eyeing a move to the Premier League after falling out with new manager Frank de Boer, according to Calciomercato.

The Croatian, a refreshing throwback to the explosive, old-school wingers of yesteryear in a modern game obsessed with subtle playmakers, was one of the standout performers at Euro 2016, scoring a superb solo goal in a dramatic 2-1 win against Spain in the Group Stage (below).

However, Perisic, who has been a constant spark of excellence in an otherwise erratic Inter side, is reportedly set to leave Serie A at the end of the season due to a series of disagreements with both the club and his manager.

Calciomercato report that the former Wolfsburg wideman has a strained relationship with de Boer, who has also endured a high-profile falling out with Perisic’s countryman Marcelo Brozovic (below), who appears likely to leave the San Siro in January.

Furthermore, a tense situation has not been helped by the fact the 27-year-old is unhappy that his consistent performances have not resulted in a pay rise, with new signing Gabriel Barbosa already earning more despite featuring in just 16 minutes of action for the Nerazzurri.

Perisic is reportedly favouring a move to England, preferably with a club in the Champions League.

As if there wasn’t enough motivation to earn a place in Europe’s premier club competition, the chances of landing one of the most dangerous authentic wingers on the continent should serve as extra incentive.

Chelsea’s attack has appeared severely blunted in recent months, and Perisic would surely interest Antonio Conte due to the Italian’s preference for high-tempo wingplay while the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Arsenal could certainly use an extra dash of attacking quality if they are to challenge for top honours in the near future.
