Some concerns did exist that like his predecessor, Jose Mourinho, his being a serial winner wouldn&#8217;t be enough to guarantee titles at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, but the Italian manager already seems to have found more success than his Portuguese counterpart.<\/p>\n<p>While they are yet to win a trophy under Conte, Spurs have shown glimpses of promise during his first season at the helm. He has revitalised the world-class talent that is Harry Kane, convincing him to stay in the English capital in the process, as well as getting the most out of others like Son Heung-Min, who was joint winner of the Premier League golden boot for the 2021\/22 season.<\/p>\n<p>Having signed youthful duo Dejan Kulusevski and Rodrigo Bentancur in January, Conte has now turned to his more signature signing of an experienced star.<\/p>\n<p>It was revealed days ago that the Inter Milan attacker&#8217;s decision would come soon, but it was rather surprising to all how quickly Daniel Levy and his team were able to wrap the deal up.<\/p>\n<blockquote class=\"twitter-tweet\" data-width=\"550\" data-dnt=\"true\">\n<p lang=\"en\" dir=\"ltr\">Ivan Perisi\u0107 is prepared to announce his final decision soon, probably on Monday: Tottenham are ready to complete the negotiation with a two year deal on the table. \ud83c\udded\ud83c\uddf7 <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/hashtag\/THFC?src=hash&amp;ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">#THFC<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Antonio Conte wants Perisi\u0107, Spurs are in the race since Monday and mos waiting for final green light. <a href=\"https:\/\/t.co\/squKI2jvK2\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">pic.twitter.com\/squKI2jvK2<\/a><\/p>\n<p>&mdash; Fabrizio Romano (@FabrizioRomano) <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/FabrizioRomano\/status\/1530302728416727042?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw\" target=\"_blank\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">May 27, 2022<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><script async src=\"https:\/\/platform.twitter.com\/widgets.js\" charset=\"utf-8\"><\/script><\/p>\n<p>A free transfer, this move will still cost <a href=\"https:\/\/lastwordonsports.com\/football\/2022\/05\/28\/tottenham-hotspur-giovani-lo-celso-price\/\" target=\"_self\">Tottenham<\/a> \u00a3180k in wages per week, so they are evidently signing Perisic to be a regular starter despite his age.
