Tottenham Hotspur has officially confirmed that winger Ivan Perisic has been loaned to HNK Hajduk Split until the end of the season, signaling the end of his time with the club.
Last summer, Tottenham signed Perisic on a free transfer from Inter Milan, reuniting him with former boss Antonio Conte in North London.
During his first season, he appeared in 34 league games and scored one goal and eight assists. Since arriving, he has made 50 appearances in all competitions, scoring one goal and providing 14 assists.
With the Croatian international in the final six months of his contract, Tottenham’s decision signifies the end of his time with them.
The wide attacker has been out since September due to an ACL injury that necessitated surgery on his right knee after a training mishap.
The following season, under Ange Postecoglou’s coaching, Perisic was anticipated to play an important role in the team. He started him in the first five games of the season before the terrible injury.
The 34-year-old was supposed to return from injury in April, but it now appears like Perisic may have played his final game for Tottenham.
Spurs said that they have reached an agreement with the Croatian club. The club’s statement read:
“We have reached an agreement with HNK Hajduk Split to loan Ivan Perisic for the balance of the season. “Good luck, Ivan!”
Perisic will now return to his childhood club, Hajduk Split, a move with sentimental value because it is located in his hometown and where he began his football career.
