Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic is turning into a prime target for Premier League clubs – mainly West Ham United and Tottenham Hotspur. Both the clubs are said to have made a bid for the versatile centre-back, who can also function as a right back, in the region of €20m.
The Serbian international arrived from Partizan Belgrade to Florence in 2017 for €5m, and it looks like he will be moving to one of the two English clubs for approximately four times that price – according to latest reports from calciomercato.com.
His contract with La Viola expires in 2022 and the club would rather cash in on his services than let him float as a free agent in the next summer transfer window.
The determined Serbian is a strong defensive prospect capable of leading the backline. Only time will tell how he suits the English game, if a transfer does materialize.
Having proved himself in the back, the 23-year-old can certainly be a valuable transfer for any Premier League club. Spurs, however, have been heavily linked to Atalanta’s Argentine centre-back Cristian Romero. The Serbian would come relatively cheap than his Argentinian counterpart.
