Tottenham loan Ivan Perisic to Hajduk Split for rest of season and chase Club Bruges' Antonio Nusa
- Published
Tottenham winger Ivan Perisic has joined Croatian club Hajduk Split on loan until the end of the season.
Perisic sustained a serious anterior cruciate ligament (ACL) injury in September and is expected to miss the rest of the campaign.
The 36-year-old's contract with Tottenham expires in the summer when Hajduk Split say he will sign a one-year deal with them.
"We wish Ivan all the best for the future," Tottenham said.
Perisic spent part of his youth career with Hajduk Split in his homeland but left before making a senior appearance.
He joined Tottenham on a two-year deal from Inter Milan in 2022 and has featured on 50 occasions for the Premier League side, scoring one goal and assisting 14.
Perisic's last appearance came on 16 September when he came off the bench and laid on an assist for Richarlison to help Spurs claim a dramatic 2-1 win against Sheffield United.
Hajduk Split sit top of their domestic league - the HNL - and return to action after the winter break against Rijeka on 28 January.
Meanwhile, Spurs are in talks with Club Bruges about signing 18-year-old forward Antonio Nusa.
The highly rated Norway winger could return to Bruges on loan if a deal is completed.
Nusa would become Spurs' third signing of the January transfer window after the arrival of Timo Werner on loan and the £25m deal for Radu Dragusin.
