Ivan Perisic gave Tottenham fans a tantalising glimpse of what he can bring to Antonio Conte's team in 2022/23 with an eye-catching performance in the 1-0 defeat against Roma on Saturday evening. Not featuring on the tour of South Korea as he worked his way back to fitness from the calf injury he sustained in his final Inter Milan appearance, his Spurs debut came in their next game away at Rangers.
Only getting 30 minutes at Ibrox as he replaced Ryan Sessegnon at left wing-back, the Croat took his opportunity with both hands and impressed with his play in the final third. Keen to build on it, Conte selected his former Inter man from the off against Roma in Israel.
Once again, Perisic demonstrated what he is all about going forward as he popped up all over the place and caused problems for the Giallorossi. Always advanced and combining well with his teammates, including Son Heung-min as he teed him up with a header, the 33-year-old tried his luck from distance a number of times.
