Spurs keen on a move for unhappy Inter Milan winger Perisic

Tottenham Hotspur are rumoured to be interested in signing long-term Manchester United and Arsenal target Ivan Perisic.

TEAMtalk cite TuttomercatoWeb in reporting that Perisic has wanted out of current club Inter Milan for some time and could be allowed to move to England this summer.

The 30-year-old was reportedly the subject of a January bid from the Gunners, who wanted to sign him on loan until the end of the season with the option to sign him for €35m come the summer.

The Croatian has been quoted as saying that he was close to an Old Trafford move last year, but again the move fell at the final hurdle.

Bosses at the Italian club are now resigned to losing him in the coming transfer window and are believed to have lowered their asking price for the wide man to €25m.

That has caught the attention of Spurs chairman Daniel Levy, who would be keen to see the experienced pro don the North London club’s shirt in the new Tottenham Hotspur Stadium next campaign.

Boss Mauricio Pochettino has not signed a single player in the last two transfer windows, but Levy is prepared to give him the means to do so this time around.

Perisic has scored four goals and provided two assists in Serie A this term and scored three goals in seven World Cup appearances last summer.
