Tottenham Hotspur began their squad strengthening ahead of a return to the Champions League by signing experienced Croatia international Ivan Perisic on a free transfer on Tuesday.
The Premier League club confirmed that the versatile 33-year old, whose contract with Inter Milan expired at the end of the season, had signed a two-year deal.
Perisic becomes manager Antonio Conte’s first major close-season signing as the north London club prepare for a return to Europe’s elite having finished fourth in the Premier League.
“I’m really excited to start with the Spurs family,” Perisic told the club’s website.
“I’ve really wanted to come here to the Premier League since 2009 when I started in professional football in Belgium, and I can’t wait.”
