Tottenham news: Antonio Conte handed 'next Neymar' transfer decision as Spurs welcome £51m boost

Here is your Tottenham morning digest on Sunday, May 29.

Perisic accepts Tottenham offer

Ivan Perisic has accepted an offer to join Tottenham this summer once his contract with Inter Milan expires, according to The Guardian. The 33-year-old is set to sign on a two-year deal at White Hart Lane after declining a similar deal at the San Siro.

It's believed that the Antonio Conte was a key component in engineering the transfer, with the Italian eager to reunite with Perisic. The Croatia international was heavily linked with a move to Chelsea during the Spurs boss' reign in west London.

Bryan Gil dilemma

Tottenham need to make a big decision over the future of Bryan Gil this summer less than a year after the Spaniard walked through the doors at Hotspur Way. The Spaniard was a shining light in La Liga last season, with his ability to dribble the ball and create chances.

He can do certain things and has great versatility, as he can play at full-back, in the middle or on the left wing. It's impressive. I have spoken with [Barcelona's sporting director] Raman Planes about him and he has Bryan Gil in mind."
