‘Better than Moura and Lamela’: Some Spurs fans react to reported interest in £70k-a-week attacker

A number of Tottenham Hotspur fans have given their thoughts on the Calciomercato report claiming Ivan Perisic is a target for Spurs and could be sold for less than £11million in January.

The 31-year-old has failed to make much of an impact at Inter this season, head coach Antonio Conte deploying him in several positions on the pitch, but to little avail.

Perisic enjoyed a fruitful loan stint at Bayern Munich last term, claiming eight goals and 10 assists in 35 appearances en route to a Bundesliga, DFB-Pokal and Champions League treble.

Conte opted to give the Croatia international another chance at Inter this season, trying him out on the left flank, in attacking midfield, as a second striker and as a centre-forward.

However, Perisic has failed to impress and, a result, the Nerazzurri hierarchy will reportedly be listening to offers for a player for whom an £11million offer from Bayern was apparently rejected in the summer.

Inter were reportedly holding out for at least £13.6million, but Calciomercato now claims that they’d be happy with a similar offer to that previously made by the Bavarians, particularly given Perisic’s contract expires in June 2022.

The outlet adds that a salary estimated to be in the region of £70,000-a-week hasn’t put off Jose Mourinho’s Spurs, as well as Manchester United, from making enquiries.

Mourinho is a big fan of Perisic – he told RT during the 2018 World Cup, as quoted by Manchester Evening News: “Perisic… I don’t know why he didn’t come to Manchester (United) when I wanted him.”

But what do Spurs fans make of the speculation? Here is what some have said on social media:
