Everton and West Ham United in for World Cup finalist?

Everton and West Ham United have been credited with an interest in signing Inter Milan winger Ivan Perisic next summer.

The Croatian has been with the Nerazzurri since 2015, but he could leave them on a free transfer at the end of the season.

His current contract expires in June next year, and there are reportedly several European clubs that are looking to sign him.

The Hammers and Toffees are among the Premier League clubs interested, and they could negotiate a pre-contract in January.

Perisic is no longer in the prime of his career, but he has continued to impress for the Nerazzurri from the left wing-back role.

He has bagged two goals and an assist from eight Serie A games this term.

The 2018 World Cup finalist has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past with Manchester United and Arsenal.

United were priced out of a potential transfer. The Gunners made an enquiry a couple of years ago, but did not return with a bid.
