Some Tottenham Hotspur fans on Twitter are excited by the possibility of signing Ivan Perisic this month.

According to Foot Mercato, Tottenham are already in talks about bringing the Inter Milan to North London on a half-season loan.

Steven Bergwijn has blown hot and cold on the left-hand side of Spurs’ attack this season, while Gareth Bale unfortunately hasn’t looked anywhere near the sort of powerhouse who left the Lilywhites to join Real Madrid back in 2013.

You could argue that Jose Mourinho needs a quality winger for that specific role and here’s how Tottenham fans reacted to the idea of it being the 31-year-old Croat:

Tottenham really aren’t a million miles from being a force to be reckoned with in English football.

With Son Heung-min and Harry Kane playing out of their skins this season, and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg and Tanguy Ndombele combining to make a formidable midfield duo, there aren’t that many weak areas.

But as mentioned, down the left is probably one of them for a number of reasons and Perisic might just offer some strength in that position.
