According to sources, Spurs are expected to complete the signing of Inter Milan's Ivan Perisic on a free transfer this week.

The 33-year-old is in London to complete a medical after agreeing terms on a two-year contract. When his Inter contract ends, he will join Spurs.

According to an earlier report, the Spurs were considering signing the Croatian after receiving encouragement that he was interested in a potential reunion with his former boss.

Inter offered a contract extension to Perisic. It is thought that the relationship with the Croatia player is a key factor in pulling off the deal.

According to sources, the club's managing director and chairman held constructive talks with the club's head coach, Antonio Conte, who is demanding as many as six summer signings.

Spurs received a 150 million cash injection from majority shareholders Enic last week, with the club prepared to back Antonio Conte in his efforts to turn the club into a title contender.

Spurs typically sign young players in the hope of realising their potential or making a profit when they sign elsewhere, but the imminent arrival of Perisic is a departure from that.

Croatia's Ivan Perisic is a World Cup finalist with more than 100 caps, and he is one of the reasons why Antonio Conte needs to add experience to his squad.

During his time at Inter, he was initially sent out on loan by the coach, but returned to play a key role in the club's title win in 2020-21.

Among other areas of the squad, Conte wants to change his wing-back options. At Inter, Perisic performed that role for him, and he believes he can do the same in England.

After their playoff win over Huddersfield at Wembley, Spurs are interested in Djed Spence, who was on loan fromNottingham Forest.

The promising 21-year-old defender is expected to make a decision soon on his future.

In January, it was reported that Spurs had rejected two bids.
