Perisic has proven to be one of the most exciting players in the Italian top flight, with no player in the division providing more assists for their teammates last season. 

The Croatia international has been at Inter since 2015, having joined from Bundesliga side Wolfsburg, and looks set to remain to help his club attempt the climb back to the top of Serie A.
