As far as free transfers go, Fabio Paratici is going to find it incredibly hard to better the signing of Ivan Perisic. A transfer tactic he used time and time again at Juventus as he brought in some huge names for absolutely nothing, the deal for the Croat is one that has really benefitted Tottenham.
Maybe a transfer that a few people raised eyebrows to given Perisic's age and Tottenham's usual policy of buying young players, not a single person can question the deal considering what the 33-year-old has brought to Spurs in his first 24 games for the club. Antonio Conte knew full well what Perisic would offer his team after managing him at Inter Milan, with the player paying his head coach back in assists since his summer switch from the San Siro.
Starting at left wing-back in Wednesday's 4-0 triumph over Crystal Palace, the ex-Borussia Dortmund man had a key say on the final outcome of the match after teeing up Harry Kane for the opener. The first goal of the contest was always going to be vital, especially with Tottenham conceding first in their previous ten games.
