Stipe Perica (born 7 July 1995) is a Croatian football striker, currently Chelsea.[1] He is also a Croatia under-21 international.

Club career

Early career

Perica started his career in his home-country at Zadar in 2012. He made his debut for the first team in September 2012.[2] In his first season, he scored 8 goals in 20 league matches, and 10 goals in all competition.

Chelsea

On 1 August 2013, Perica signed for Chelsea with a transfer fee of €2.5m.[3]

Loan to NAC Breda

After his arrival at Chelsea, the club immediately loaned Perica out to Dutch club NAC Breda.[4] On his NAC Breda debut he scored his first goal in a 1–5 victory away to Roda JC, having come on as a substitute.[5] A few weeks later he scored the winning goal for 2–1 against Heracles Almelo in his fourth appearance.[6] On 16 February 2014, he was sent-off just 4 minuted after being substituted on in the match against Feyenoord.[7]

In August 2014, his loan deal was extended for the 2014–15 season.[8] However, after the sacking of Breda's manager Nebojša Gudelj, his role was reduced to a bit-part player and he requested a move in search for more game time. On 22 January 2015, his loan with NAC Breda ended and Chelsea loaned him out to Udinese until June 2016.[9][10]

Loan to Udinese

On 8 February 2015 against Napoli, Perica made his debut for Udinese, coming off the bench in the 78th minute for Bruno Fernandes.[11] On 1 March 2015 against Cesena, Perica came off the bench in the 84th minute, but was unable to prevent Udinese from losing 1–0.[12] On 4 April 2015, Perica made his first start for Udinese in a match against Genoa that ended in a 1–1 draw.[13] On 17 May, Perica scored the opener (his first for Udinese) against A.S. Roma, the match ended in a 1–2 loss for Udinese.[14]

On 3 June 2015, Udinese extended Perica's loan deal for one and a half years.[15] On 20 December 2015, Perica scored his first goal of the 2015–16 Serie A campaign in a 1–0 away victory over Torino, therefore scoring the winning goal in the 41st minute.[16]

International career

Perica started his international career with the Croatian under-21 team. He played with the team at the under-20 World Cup. He was the youngest player in the Croatian squad and scored in a win over New Zealand.[17]
