• Ivan Perisic-

The 27-year-old has really impressed every footballing spectator with his wonderful performance in the European Championship, where he scored 2 goals in four games. Now, if the reports are to believed, then the Lilly-Whites were amongst those many clubs, who were chasing the Croatian sensation, but Inter Milan have somehow managed to keep a firm hold on their prized possession.

Perisic, a winger by nature, is known for his attacking prowess and besides that, his playmaking skill is something that can be heavily utilized by the manager in the Champions League. Despite being a winger, the Croatian scored 7 goals in Serie A last season and further went on to bag six assists.
