Tottenham allegedly watched Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic on Sunday.
According to Tuttomercatoweb, Tottenham Hotspur sent a scout to watch Inter Milan beat Sampdoria on Sunday – and were watching Ivan Perisic.
Spurs have now gone more than a year without a signing, and many now believe that Mauricio Pochettino will finally land some new recruits this summer.
Tuttomercatoweb note that Spurs were not only scouting Atalanta’s defeat to AC Milan on Saturday for Suso and Franck Kessie, but also stuck around for Inter’s game against Sampdoria on Sunday.
Inter picked up a 2-1 win, with all the goals scored in a crazy five minute period in the second half, and Spurs were seemingly eyeing two players.
Samp defender Joachim Andersen is one player, and he has been linked with Spurs for some time now, but the other is hugely interesting; Inter winger Perisic.
The Croatian international has undoubted quality, hitting 11 goals and nine assists last season before starring at the World Cup, but he has struggled to replicate that form this term.
Calciomercato recently noted that Perisic earns around €4million a year, or around £67,000-a-week, and that may fit into Tottenham’s wage structure.
However, he is enduring a poor campaign and just turned 30, meaning he doesn’t really fit the Tottenham mould, so a move to sign him this summer would be a huge surprise.
It’s also interesting to note that Perisic, according to BBC, wanted to join Tottenham’s rivals Arsenal in January, but Inter wouldn’t let him go out on loan, meaning Spurs would have to pay up for a permanent deal if they want the wide man this summer.
