Tottenham boss Antonio Conte is expecting big things from Ivan Perisic.

Speaking with Sky Italia, Conte feels the signing from Inter Milan is moving towards peak fitness.

"Now it is important for Perisic to get back in the best psychophysical condition, because he got hurt in the last match of last season, a serious injury, now he is back at his disposal," he said.

"The expected recovery times seemed even longer, but then Ivan has recovered. Against Roma I made him play from the beginning to make him familiar with the pace of the match and with his teammates.

Conte also said: "The pre-season went well, it was tiring, we had to make two long and demanding trips between Korea and Israel. But we worked hard, both from a tactical and a physical point of view.

"There were minor setbacks, but at the same time I'm happy to be able to continue working on an idea of 'last year, without having to start all over again, as happened in November: it was very hard there, you have to bring your idea from scratch."

Conte then went on to praise Harry Kane and Son Heung-min, calling them the "two most representative players of the club". He also explained that the duo "feel that the path they have taken on paper is good."
