“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.”
The move sees Perisic reunited with Conte who he played under when Inter won the Serie A title in 2020-21.

“I’m looking forward to seeing him again. He lives football, every minute, every hour, every day, even when he’s sleeping I think he’s thinking about football. I like his character and know he’s going to do a great job here.”
Perisic, who can play as a left wing-back or even up front, joined Bundesliga club Borussia Dortmund in 2011 where he won the league and German Cup in his first season.

After a move to VfL Wolfsburg he joined Inter in 2015 for whom he played more than 200 Serie A games, scoring 49 goals.
He had a season on loan with Bayern Munich in 2019-20 and won the treble of Bundesliga, Champions League and German Cup. On his return to Inter, under Conte, Perisic won the Serie title and this season helped the club win the Coppa Italia.
Perisic will need no introduction to English fans, having scored the equaliser for Croatia in the World Cup semi-final in 2018 when England were beaten 2-1 after extra time.

He also scored in the final as Croatia lost to France.
Perisic has 113 caps for Croatia and has scored 32 goals.

Tottenham thrash Newcastle 5-1 to rise to 4th in EPL

Tottenham thrash Newcastle 5-1 to rise to 4th in EPL

Tottenham powered above north London rival Arsenal into the English Premier League top four for at least one day by thrashing Newcastle 5-1. Ben Davies, Matt Doherty, Son Heung-min, Emerson Royal and substitute Steven Bergwijn scored at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium for Spurs, who have netted more goals (30) than any other team in the league in 2022.
Newcastle took the lead through Fabian Schar’s free kick in the 39th minute but couldn’t handle the relentless attacks of Tottenham. They came from all angles, with wing backs Doherty and Royal even popping up to score rare goals.
Tottenham moved into fourth place on goal difference ahead of Arsenal, which has two games in hand the first coming at Crystal Palace on Monday. Tottenham and Arsenal are five points behind third-placed Chelsea.
Newcastle has lost three straight games in the league, having previously gone eight games unbeaten, and is still not safe from relegation in 15th place  nine points above the bottom three.
Tottenham responded well to going behind, equalizing within four minutes when Son crossed for Davies to glance in a header and become the first of three home defenders to score.

Doherty headed in a cross from Harry Kane to make it 2-1 in the 48th and, six minutes later, Son controlled a ball into the middle from Dejan Kulusevski and finished into the corner.
Royal scored his first goal for Tottenham by poking in Doherty’s cross in the 63rd, and Bergwijn raced through the middle of Newcastle’s defense to score the fifth in the 83rd.
