West Ham United are reportedly in talks with Fiorentina to sign the 23-year-old defender Nikola Milenkovic this summer.
According to Daily Mail, the defender is valued at £14 million and he has just a year left on his current deal with the Italian outfit.
Apparently, the Serbian is a ‘top target’ for David Moyes this summer but the Hammers are keeping tabs on the likes of Nathaniel Phillips and Duje Caleta-Car as well.
Milenkovic has been quite impressive for Fiorentina and he could prove to be a quality long term acquisition for the Hammers next season.
The Londoners will have to improve defensively in order to do well in the European competition this coming season.
Milenkovic has shown his qualities with Fiorentina in the Italian league and the chance to move to the Premier League could be an exciting proposition for the player.
The 23-year-old defender might be keen on taking up a new challenge and West Ham would be a superb move for him in theory.
The Hammers will be able to offer him regular game time at a high level and he would get to play European football with the Londoners as well.
However, Juventus are keen on signing the Serbian defender as well and it remains to be seen whether the Hammers can fend off the competition from the Turin giants and secure the 23-year-old’s services this summer.
