Tottenham winger Ivan Perisic has rejoined his first club Hajduk Split on loan for the rest of the season.
Perisic is sidelined after suffering anterior cruciate ligament damage in September.
He has featured in Tottenham’s first six games but, with his contract expiring this summer, the Croatian foreigner will return to play for the Premier League club.
It will be an emotional move for Perisic, who was a product of Hajduk’s youth academy after being raised in Split.
He did not appear at his boyhood club before moving to Sochaux in 2006 before moving on to Club Brugge, Borussia Dortmund, Wolfsburg, Inter Milan and Bayern Munich.
He has played 129 times for Croatia.
The 34-year-old had said he wanted to end his career at Hajduk.
Although he is unable to regain his fitness after his loan, he is expected to sign permanently with the Croatian club at the end of the season.
Perisic made 50 appearances for Tottenham and the club’s website reads: “We wish Ivan all the best for the future. “
