Tottenham are reportedly one step closer to signing Ivan Perisic as Inter Milan have identified two players who could replace the Croatian winger this summer.
According to Gianluca Di Marzio, Cagliari’s Raoul Bellanova and Udinese’s Destiny Udogie will be targetted by the Serie A giants once Perisic’s move to Tottenham is confirmed, a signing that could take place as early as next week.

With Fraser Forster also close to signing for Spurs, Antonio Conte is making quick moves in the transfer market to fill in voids in the Tottenham squad, with Perisic likely to become a starting XI player next season.
The forward, who earns a reported £125,000-a-week at Inter, has adapted his game to a wing-back role in the past few seasons to great success, with Perisic last season bagging ten goals and nine assists in all competitions.
Whilst Ryan Sessegnon has impressed under Conte this season with Sergio Reguilon also a solid backup, Persic’s signing is a vast upgrade on Tottenham’s current options in the left-wingback position.
Although Perisic is 33-years-old, the Croat only seems to be getting better with age, and with Inter now eyeing the veteran attacker’s replacements, the deal to sign for Tottenham looks closer than ever.
Tottenham signing Perisic has never looked stronger after Inter update
After a top-four finish and being handed a £150m cash injection from ENIC, Tottenham have big plans for Conte this summer, and Inter’s latest transfer update has never put the club in a stronger position to sign Perisic.
The winger will be a great addition to Tottenham on a free transfer, and after succeeding under Conte during their time together at Inter, Perisic could be the next Serie A signing to flourish in north London.
