Ivan Perisic: Tottenham signing was once caught out by unusual football law

Ivan Perisic was unveiled as a new Tottenham player this week after signing a two-year deal with the Premier League side.

The experienced Croatia international, 33, joins Spurs after a seven-year stint with Inter Milan.

Perisic has also played in France, Belgium and Germany and didn’t think twice when the opportunity to reunite with Antonio Conte in north London arose.

“It is a privilege to work with a coach like this. I am really happy to see him again,” he said after signing, per BBC Sport. “I am really excited to start with the Spurs family.”
