Spurs transfer news: West Ham also in the race for Ivan Perisic

La Gazzetta dello Sport (h/t Calciomercato) reports that West Ham are also interested in Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic.

The report adds that Tottenham and Arsenal are interested in the 30-year-old and that the Hammers were the last team to make contact with Inter over the Croatian star.

Perisic had a wonderful World Cup in Russia but his form for Inter has not been great this season. The 30-year-old has scored only six goals and has provided four assists for the Serie A giants.

The report claims that Perisic was forced to reject a move to Arsenal in the winter window, and Inter could sell him in the summer.

Not the best in the dressing room?

The report does share some concerning news regarding Perisic and his relationship with the team.

The Croatian does not have a great relationship with Mauro Icardi and the other players, and that has helped Inter make the decision to sell him (h/t Calciomercato).

The 30-year-old can play in several positions across the attack and midfield, and the report claims that West Ham believe he could have a similar impact to another Serie A export this season, Felipe Andersen.
