Wow. Not only a superb signing, but clearly butts up against our usual policy of not signing anyone over 30 on big deals. If spurs aren't careful, I'm going to be dangerously close to believing we might actually be seriously going for it this summer ?

**edit** if we get him of course. No jinxing

Massive signing if it comes off, not only because he is a top player but also because it signifies the amount of power Conte now has.

No way Levy sanctions this for anyone else.

I think a signing like this, given his age, proves that Conte is being fully backed as this is a deal that Levy would never usually sanction.

Is this a glimpse of the pull of Conte's Spurs? Potentially beating Inter, Juve and Chelsea to a play?

I think so

In the article:

... In fact, the Tottenham project should include, alongside a series of young players, also the possibility of relying on more experienced profiles, such as Perisic's. Also with the aim of playing the Champions League to full possibilities. The Croatian evaluated the offers: the temptation to go to play in the Premier League was strong, and the offer on the plate is significant from an economic point of view, as well as technical. Perisic would make a dream come true, to play in a championship like the Premier League, which he has not yet attended.

I actually think this increases the likelihood of Bastoni
Imagine how great it would be if we could sign the two of them. They’d both slot straight into the starting XI but they’d hardly need any time to adapt, having already played under the manager and formed a partnership between themselves.

It’d be a massive upgrade to our left side and (assuming they settle in off the pitch) it would basically be seamless.
