West Ham United target Nikola Milenkovic could join Nuno’s Tottenham Hotspur soon, according to Corriere dello Sport.
What’s the story?
Corriere dello Sport are reporting that Fiorentina central defender Milenkovic will move to either West Ham or Tottenham ‘shortly’.
Earlier this week, Corriere dello Sport reported that Fiorentina are looking for €17 million (£14.46m) as transfer fee for the defender.
Sky Sports reported on Friday that talks between the Hammers and Fiorentina had ended for now because the two clubs could not agree on a deal.
The report added that Tottenham had swooped in and were now in talks over signing the 23-year-old defender, described as “extraordinary” by Fiorentina-owned Marseille defender Pol Lirola in X-Sport in March 2020.
We covered the report here on HITC Sport.
Tottenham Hotspur or West Ham United?
Milenkovic is a very good defender who can only get better and improve.
The 23-year-old is ready to take the next step in his career, and a move to Spurs or West Ham would be great for him.
Tottenham may not play in the Europa League this season like West Ham will, but the North London club were playing in the Champions League on a regular basis not so long ago.
In fact, Spurs actually reached the Champions League final in 2019.
A move to Tottenham could appeal to Milenkovic.
