Ivan Perisic trolls Arsenal after Tottenham move

The 33-year-old has not wasted time proving he was cut for Tottenham after he trolled the club's bitter rivals, Arsenal.

Speaking after his transfer to the Antonio Conte-tutored side, Perisic claimed he was certain Tottenham would finish ahead of Arsenal in the just-concluded Premier League season.

"I was waiting [in] the last two to three games, I was watching. After the victory against Arsenal, it was obvious Tottenham would go in the Champions League and it was good for me because I want to play the best games, do a great job in the Champions League and Premier League and both cups," Perisic told Spurs TV.
"I'm really excited to start with the Spurs family. When I got a call from the coach and sporting director, I said I really wanted to play in the Premier League," he added.

While the star forward is delighted to finally get a shot at the Premier League, he was quick to pay tribute to the Inter Milan fanbase.
