Premier League club Tottenham Hotspur have confirmed the signing of Croatian winger Ivan Perisic on a free transfer.
The 33-year-old will join Tottenham when his contract at Inter Milan expires at the end of June after agreeing a two-year deal.

Perisic worked with head coach Antonio Conte at the San Siro, winning the 2020-21 Serie A title together, and turned down a new contract with the Italian club in order to head to London.
His arrival will mark a departure from the north Londoners’ usual transfer policy of signing younger players with a sell-on value and is a further signal that they are giving their full backing to Conte.
Perisic is an experienced winner, having lifted league titles in Germany – with Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich – and Italy while also playing and scoring in a World Cup final for Croatia.
His versatility will appeal to Conte, who deployed him as a left wing-back at Inter, but he can also play as a winger, a second striker or attacking midfielder.
He leaves the San Siro after seven years with happy memories.
He posted on Instagram: “After 254 games, 55 goals, 49 assists, 3 trophies and 18,934 minutes spent on the pitch wearing this glorious jersey; my journey here has come to an end.
“Even though every end means a new beginning it’s important to reflect back on these past years and show you my deepest appreciation for the work accomplished.
“It was an unforgettable learning experience for me as a player and for my whole family.
🎙 “I’m really excited to start with the Spurs family”
