For someone who has never played in the Premier League before, the 34-year-old has a great knowledge of the English game.
When being shown around his new base last summer, Perisic took a look at a wall of players that have worn the famous Lilywhite before him.
After reeling off his compatriots Luka Modric, Vedran Corluka, Niko Kranjcar and Stipe Pletikosa – the winger took an interest in some less glamorous names from Spurs‘ recent history.
Perisic said: “(Bobby) Zamora… Zamora was a striker, no?
“(Younes) Kaboul, a defender. (Adel) Taarabt, a dribbler. (Jamie) O’Hara, central midfielder.”
Fans online were left in disbelief by his ability to namecheck O’Hara.
One hilariously compared the situation to a famous scene from The Office.
While another joked: “Ivan Perisic knows who Jamie O’Hara is but Sergio Aguero doesn’t remember the names of his own team-mates lmaooooo.”

A third added: “It shouldn’t be surprising but Perisic knowing who Bobby Zamora is has really caught me off guard… and when he pulled out O’Hara… wow!”
And a fourth quipped: “Perisic casually name-dropping Zamora, Taarabt & O’Hara here. He must be a Football Manager addict, it’s the only explanation.”
