New Tottenham Hotspur signing Ivan Perisic reached out to club legend Luka Modric before completing his move earlier this summer.
The experienced wing-back ended his seven-year spell with Inter Milan in June and made sure to get in touch with his international teammate for some advice on the move to north London - while also getting the blessing for his shirt number. Perisic, who's played alongside Modric 92 times for Croatia, revealed: "The first time I spoke with the manager, I also called Luka later.
"I said to him that there is a possibility that I might come to his ex-club and he said to me all of the positive things about the club. He used to play at the old stadium and he used to train on the old training camp but everything is new here now, everything is much better and much more modern.
