TOTTENHAM are reportedly closing in on the signing of Inter Milan star Ivan Perisic.

Spurs are set for a busy summer with a number of incoming and outgoings and Antonio Conte has identified Perisic as a key target.

The Italian worked with the 33-year-old at Inter as they were crowned Serie A champions last year, and several clubs now want Perisic.

But Spurs have emerged as favourites to land the Croatian on a free after agreeing a two-year deal with the wing-back, report The Independent.

Perisic will reportedly earn £75,000 a week and could be Spurs’ first summer arrival.

But it is believed Tottenham are persuasive given Perisic’s connection to Conte amid news the Spurs boss is set to stay.

Conte held positive talks with Spurs managing football direct Fabio Paratici this week.

The pair reportedly discussed transfer plans and Conte voiced his desire to sign Perisic, accelerating talks between the two.

Next Conte could raid his former club for defender Alessandro Bastoni with the manager keen to add a left side centre-back to his squad.
