Tottenham Hotspur are interested in acquiring the services of Serbian centre-back Nikola Milenkovic.
According to a report from TBR, Tottenham are looking to further bolster their defence in the summer and are interested in signing Fiorentina centre-back Nikola Milenkovic. They have been closely monitoring the Serbian defender and could make a move in the near future.
Milenkovic came up the ranks at Partizan before making the move to the Italian club in the summer of 2017. He has been an integral part of their team over the years and his consistent performances have resulted in a lot of interest as well.
Tottenham are one of the clubs that have been keeping an eye on the 26-year-old and they were impressed with his performance in Serbia’s Euro opener against England. Milenkovic managed to keep former Spurs ace Harry Kane quiet and his performance did go unnoticed.
The England skipper hardly touched the ball as the Fiorentina centre-back followed him as a shadow. With the defender all set to enter his peak years, Spurs are considering prising him away from the Italian club.
Spurs keen on Milenkovic, negotiations will be difficult
Milenkovic has already proved himself in the Italian top flight and his excellent performance in England pretty much assures Spurs that he has what it takes to succeed in the Premier League. More importantly, he can fit into Ange Postecoglou’s system.
The North London club will not find it easy to sign him as he still has three years left on his deal at Fiorentina. The Italian outfit will have the upper hand during negotiations and they won’t let him leave on the cheap. On top of that, there is no shortage of interest in him.
Since arriving at the English club, the former Celtic boss has already signed two top-level centre-backs. Micky van de Ven arrived at the club last summer while Radu Dragusin was added to their squad at the start of the year.
They have enough depth in the heart of the defence but are still looking to sign Milenkovic because of Cristian Romero’s uncertain future. The Argentine defender has been linked with a move to Real Madrid.
If the Spanish giants do end up signing him, Spurs will have to bring in a world-class replacement and the Serbian international could surely help cope with Romero’s absence.
