Former Tottenham and England playmaker Chris Waddle has questioned Antonio Conte’s decision to sign Ivan Perisic from Inter Milan this summer.
Spurs completed their first signing of the summer window by securing versatile forward Perisic from Inter on a free transfer. The experienced Croatia international has won league titles with Inter, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund, and reached the final of the 2018 World Cup with Croatia.
The decision to sign the 33-year-old, who played under Conte at the San Siro, has left Waddle confused. The 62-cap Three Lions international believes that Spurs need to prioritise a new centre-back and that Perisic does not have the fitness or stamina required to play regularly in the Premier League.
