According to Juve Live, Nikola Milenković is one step away from joining West Ham, despite interest from Tottenham.
What’s the story?
Well, the Italian news outlet write that Juventus are interested in signing the 28-cap Serbia international.
However, Juve Live believe they will face issues in their pursuit, as West Ham are closing in on his signature.
It is said that West Ham are ready to offer €30 million (£26 million) for the 23-year-old, who has been described as the new Nemanja Vidić.
Tottenham, Liverpool and Arsenal are keen
If West Ham really are close to signing the towering centre-back, then they’ve done a great job given the competition for his services.
In addition to Juventus wanting Milenković, Arsenal are also said to be keen on the Fiorentina No.4.
Jürgen Klopp’s Liverpool have also made contact, while Tottenham’s new Director of Football Fabio Paratici wants him in north London.
In that respect, it would be a real coup if David Moyes got his hands on Milenković.
After Fabian Balbuena’s exit, a new centre-back was definitely needed.
In fact, at least one reinforcement in every position is necessary, due to the demands that come with participating in the Europa League.
In Milenković, West Ham may have found a potential star of the future.
