Perisic had appeared as a substitute in each of Spurs’ opening five Premier League matches so far this season.
His latest cameo, against Sheffield United on Saturday, saw him come off the bench to set up Richarlison’s stoppage time equaliser in a dramatic home victory.
The former Inter Milan midfielder is out of contract in North London next year and had been linked with an exit this summer.
