Ivan Perisic is topping Premier League table for one key stat this season

Ivan Perisic has the best cross-success rate out of any player in the Premier League, boasting an impressive statistic of 48.3%.

After joining on a free transfer following the end of his contract with Inter Milan, Perisic has slotted seamlessly into Antonio Conte’s wing-back system in North London.

The Premier League report that in his seven appearances in the competition so far, Perisic has already recorded three assists from left-wing-back. He also makes an average of just short of 18 passes per match.

WhoScored have revealed that Perisic’s 48.3% cross success rate is a Premier League high, meaning around half of his 29 crosses this season have reached a teammate.

The Premier League also claim he has created two big chances and made five accurate long balls so far this season, showcasing exactly why Conte opted to bring the experienced attacker into Hotspur Way.

Spurs Web Opinion:

Perisic is arguably Tottenham’s best signing of the summer in terms of the quality he brings vs the price Spurs paid. A free transfer for a starting left-wing-back with all the experience in the world and the perfect tutor for Ryan Sessegnon. That’s just great business.
