IVAN PERISIC HAS completed his move to Tottenham Hotspur on a free transfer.
The 33-year-old was one of the key players for Inter this season and his extra-time double won them the Italian Cup against their bitter rivals Juventus.
On Monday, Inter confirmed the departure of the Croatian international, who is out of contract, and a two-year deal with Tottenham has been announced this afternoon.
Perisic had been strongly linked with a move to Spurs, where he will now reunite with former Inter manager Antonio Conte after undergoing a medical in London.
His arrival will provide a good option at wing-back and in attack.

✍️ We are delighted to announce the transfer of Ivan Perišić.
“It’s a regret, but he wanted experience in the Premier League,” said Inter’s CEO Giuseppe Marotta.
We were not in a position to be able to present him with a better offer.”
Perisic, who scored eight goals and made six assists this season, was reportedly demanding €6 million a season.
Inter are keen, however, to attract the 28-year-old Argentine playmaker Dybala.

“Clearly, the hope is that he can play with us,” said Marotta who admitted, with a smile, that he did not yet know where the “Joya” (the “Jewel” in Spanish) will play next season.
Nor did Marotta rule out a possible return to Inter for Romelu Lukaku. The Belgian striker left for Chelsea last summer for nearly €115m but is unhappy with his situation at Stamford Bridge.
The transfer market does not officially open until 1 July in Italy.
