Inside Ivan Perisic's Tottenham transfer as Ryan Sessegnon claim made amid Antonio Conte boost

Ivan Perisic was Tottenham's first signing of the summer and he seems to have settled in well already. The Croatian made his debut in the 2-1 pre-season victory against Rangers after returning from an injury picked up at the end of last season, and then started against Roma.

Perisic is someone who has played for Antonio Conte before during his time at Inter Milan, and the 33-year-old is just one player the Italian has been able to help improve. Conte has a decision to make ahead of Spurs' first game of the season against Southampton on Saturday.

With Sergio Reguilon being left out of pre-season, it is unlikely he will be in the matchday squad at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium at the weekend. This leaves Perisic and Ryan Sessegnon as the 53-year-old's left wing-back options and it will be interesting to see who he gives the nod to.
