Conte solves LWB issue, 25 y/o's Spurs career over: Romano issues big transfer update - opinion

Journalist Fabrizio Romano has claimed that Inter have been approached by Tottenham Hotspur for Ivan Perisic ahead of the summer transfer window.

Perisic has been linked with a move to the Premier League, with Tottenham Hotspur the main club concerned in his signature, and the deal could be a free transfer due to the Croatian’s contract expiring at the end of the season.

The Croatia international has been a mainstay in the Inter side this campaign, featuring 49 times in all competitions whilst contributing with 10 goals and nine assists.

Romano took to Twitter to update the Spurs fans that their club has made an approach for the Inter player, but no decision has been made yet.

He wrote: “Inter manager Inzaghi: ‘I want Ivan Perisic to stay here. There will be a new meeting with his agents and I hope an agreement will be reached soon’.

“Meeting will take place next week. Perisic has been approached by 3 clubs including Tottenham but no decision yet.”

We noted two potential knock-on effects of what a move to Spurs for Perisic could mean for the club.

Reguilon signed for Spurs from Real Madrid in 2020, but there is a clause that if the Spanish side want to re-sign him, then they can pay a fee of £34 million to the Spurs to re-gain his services.

When the Spanish full-back was last fit enough to be in the squad, he was an unused substitute, as Ryan Sessegnon was given the nod ahead of him to start at left-wing back.

With Reguilon supposedly being out of favour at Spurs due to a lack of form, after he was awarded just a 6.6 rating on his last time out, and Perisic potentially joining the club, this could be an indication that the Spanish full-back could be set to leave in the summer.

Perisic has been one of the stand out
