Ivan Perisic is one of the finest players in the world. He has played top-flight football for several years now.

The recent trophy he won is the Coppa Italia, in which he scored a brace to help Inter Milan win the cup.

He is a very versatile player who can play as a left midfielder, Winger, and left wing-back. This versatility will be a plus for Chelsea.

The major reason Chelsea will sign him according to reports is to play as a left-wing-back and be a backup for Ben Chilwell.

Ben Chilwell is one of the best left-wing-backs in the world. He has formed a formidable partnership with Reece James until Achilles’ injury cut short his season.
