Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic is open to a move to Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur in the summer transfer window, according to ESPN.

ESPN have reported that Tottenham are interested in signing Inter Milan winger Perisic on a free transfer this summer.

The winger played as a wing-back under Conte at Inter, and the former Chelsea manager believes that the 33-year-old Croatia international could operate in a similar role at Spurs.

Juventus are leading the race for Perisic, according to ESPN, who have added that Tottenham have been encouraged to believe that they could do a deal for the £125,000-a-week star (SalarySport).

Should Tottenham Hotspur sign Ivan Perisic?

In our opinion, if Tottenham Hotspur qualify for the Champions League next season and Conte wants to sign Ivan Perisic, then club chairman Daniel Levy should sanction a move.

The winger is out of contract at Inter this summer, and although he is 33 now, he could still be an asset for two more years.

The Croatian has extensive experience of playing in European competitions, and if Spurs play in the Champions League next season, then his experience would be valuable.

Perisic and Conte won the Serie A title with Inter last season, and we think that the Croatian would do well under the Italian at Tottenham.

The Inter star has scored seven goals and given seven assists in 34 Serie A games this season.
