Spurs player wants to return to his former club, claims his old teammate
Ivan Perisic’s former teammate Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe has claimed that the Croat wants to return to his boyhood club Hajduk Split.
Perisic has been one of Tottenham’s most impressive performers in the pre-season friendlies so far, with the 34-year-old looking quite menacing on the left of the front three.
However, reports continue to link the player with a move away from Spurs, with The Daily Mail claiming at the start of this week that the former Inter star has been informed by the North London club that he can leave if a suitable offer comes in for him.
Alasdair Gold even asserted on his YouTube channel a couple of days ago that despite Perisic’s eye-catching displays in pre-season, the experienced wing-back is expected to leave the club.

Ivan Perisic wants to move back home
Last month, Hajduk Split president Luksa Jakobusic even asserted that the Tottenham man wants to return to the Croat club but it was Ange Postecoglou who was blocking his exit (24 sata via Vercenji).
Odjidja-Ofoe, who shared a dressing room with Perisic at Club Brugge earlier in his career, has now talked up the chances of the player reuniting with him at Stadion Poljud.
The 34-year-old, who completed a switch to Hajduk earlier this summer, told SportKlub: “He (Perisic) called me while we were on the bus on the way back from Zagreb to Split.
“And I told him that everyone was waiting for him here. So everyone should keep working on it and I hope he will come here soon so we can enjoy and play together again.
“He didn’t promise me anything, but he said he would look into his situation. Of course, I heard that he promised the people of Split that one day he will play for Hajduk again. That is one of his dreams. I hope it will come true very soon.”
Spurs Web Opinion
I cannot see Hajduk paying any sort of transfer fee for Perisic. So, in all likelihood, Spurs would have to agree to terminate the 34-year-old’s contract for him to return to his native country. I believe that the experienced wide-man is likely to end up back in the Serie A this summer.
