The confirmation of Ivan Perisic's arrival to Tottenham Hotspur on the eve of June was a welcome surprise. It was the first ahead of what is billed to be a busy window of incomings for Antonio Conte's side.
Conte has been lauded for his transformation of the 33-year-old, which saw Perisic temporarily swap Milan for Munich - where he added more silverware to his cabinet - before returning to the Serie A outfit and dethroning Juventus to win the Scudetto. Nine days after Champions League football was secured with an emphatic win over Norwich City, the movement marks a statement of intent from Daniel Levy and co when the Croatia international's Inter Milan contract expires this month.
But for Tottenham, the next port of call following Perisic's arrival is adding reinforcements to their defensive ranks. Alessandro Bastoni is one of the names on the list of defensive targets to arrive at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, with the 52-year-old wasting no time in securing his business early.
