West Ham United are said to have made an offer to sign Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan.

Ivan Perisic #44 of FC Interernazionale runs during the International Champions Cup match between FC Bayern Munich and FC Internazionale at National Stadium on July 27, 2017 in Singapore.

West Ham United target Ivan Perisic was once labelled a ‘quality’ player by Slaven Bilic.

FC Inter News claims that West Ham have made a move for Perisic this summer, as they seek to bring in the Croatian international.

Bilic knows his compatriot well, having worked with the winger at international level.

And Bilic’s comments on Perisic from 2016 should encourage West Ham that the 30-year-old would be a good addition.

“We have Ivan Perisic and Marcelo Brozovic at Inter and Darijo Srna playing for Shakhtar,” the former Hammers boss said to the Newham Recorder.

“These are all quality players and if we find our form and maybe have a little bit of luck along the way then we can go far.”

Perisic would certainly be a high profile addition for West Ham to make and it is said that he is keen on a move to the Premier League.

However, there must be question marks over where Perisic would fit in at the London Stadium.

West Ham already have good options out wide, and it seems more likely that a striker will be on their wishlist rather than another winger.

If Perisic was to move to West Ham he would have to compete with the likes of Felipe Anderson and Michail Antonio for a first-team place.
