Tottenham do not appear to be wasting any time at all in the transfer market with Ivan Perisic believed to be closing in on a move to north London. Joining Inter Milan from Wolfsburg in 2015, the Croatia international will bid farewell to the San Siro very soon with his contract set to expire at the end of June.
Playing a key role for the Nerazzurri in recent seasons, Perisic has been linked with a number of clubs but reports suggest that Antonio Conte and Tottenham are about to win the race for his signature. Operating at left wing-back for the Italian giants, the highly-rated player has all the qualities to thrive in the head coach's system and his experience could prove invaluable as Spurs look to win major trophies.
So what have other managers in the game said about the 33-year-old? football.london takes a look.
