Tottenham have opened talks to sign 23-yr-old who has been linked with West Ham
Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic has been linked with a move to the Premier League in recent months.

West Ham United have made a renewed bid for Rennes defender Nayef Aguerd that has been rejected, Football Insider reports. The Hammers are desperate to bolster the central defence this summer, and they have been linked with numerous names in recent weeks. Aguerd is one of those on their radar. They recently failed with a £15 million bid for the Moroccan. Rennes made it clear that he was not for sale. Their improved transfer offer of £17m has also been snubbed.

West Ham keen on 28-cap international, but face competition from two other PL clubs
West Ham United are reportedly interested in signing the Bayern Munich midfielder Corentin Tolisso this summer.

The 27-year-old has been linked with a move to the Premier League in the past as well and he could be tempted to join the Londoners this summer. The Hammers can offer him regular first-team football and they will be playing in ...

According to Club Doria 46, the two Premier League clubs are monitoring the experienced centre-back and may make a move to sign him in the coming weeks.

West Ham open talks to sign 26-yr-old from PL giants, player could cost £15m
West Ham United are looking to improve their attacking options and have opened preliminary talks with Liverpool regarding Belgian striker Divock Origi. The 26-year-old has fallen down the pecking order at Anfield and barely played for Jurgen Klopp’s side last season. Origi needs to leave the Merseyside outfit to play regular first-team football, and a move to West Ham could be ideal. According to Football Insider, a bid of around £15 million could be enough to sign the Belgian this summer. Liverpool wanted to sell the player during the January transfer window, but there were no suitable offers. Origi has three years left on his current deal at Anfield, but the club are willing to sever their ties with him. The Hammers need to bring in a striker to compete with Michail Antonio, and Origi co...
23-yr-old ace is the ‘number one goal’ for West Ham in the transfer market this summer
West Ham United are keen on signing Nikola Milenkovih from Fiorentina before the transfer window shuts.

The report further adds that the Serbian is the ‘number one’ goal for the London club in the transfer market this summer. It is fair to assume that the two clubs could reach an agreement in the coming days given the fact that the difference in valuations is marginal. Milenkovic will be out of contract next summer and Fiorentina will be under pressure to cash in on him in the coming weeks. They will not want to lose the 23 year old on a free transfer next year. Meanwhile, West Ham will have to sort out their defensive vulner...
