I can only see Perisic being pursued as a WB of sorts. Don't get the fixation otherwise, to the degree where we seem to be considering nobody else, and are going as high as £40m. Perisič has probably been a £25m player at best during his career, which didn't start yesterday.
If the plan is to just replace Martial with him, then I'd be greatly disappointed. Martial has far greater potential, and is already better in my opinion anyway. If he's to be marginalised, at least let it be for real top drawer.
I actually like Perisič as a player in general, he's definitely more good than he is bad. He's just not good enough, or even close to being, to be signed as a big money starting wide player.
