New Tottenham signing Ivan Perisic is expected to be fit or very close to being fit in time for the first day of pre-season training, football.london understands. Signing a two-year deal with Spurs that will commence from the start of July after the expiration of his Inter Milan contract, the Croatian international unfortunately picked up an injury in his final appearance for the Nerazzurri.
Starting in his 35th Serie A game of the season on the final day against Sampdoria, Perisic opened the scoring in the 49th minute but was substituted off ten minutes later due to a calf problem. The 33-year-old, who was seen using crutches on the pitch after the game, underwent an MRI scan last Tuesday and Inter Milan's website confirmed that the experienced player had "a pulled right medial gastrocnemius".
Amid question marks over when exactly Perisic will be back to full fitness, football.london understands that Spurs' new man is expected to be fit or very close to being fit for when Spurs' pre-season training commences. As is the case ahead of pre-season training with international football set to get underway this week, Tottenham's international players are due to be back in time for the club's tour of South Korea.
