According to TBR Football, Tottenham Hotspur are plotting a move for Nikola Milenkovic after the centre-back shone on the biggest stage on Sunday, delivering a masterclass against England.
Tottenham are interested in Nikola Milenkovic
Milenkovic has been one of the bedrocks of Fiorentina’s defence for many years and the centre-back showed his qualities in Serbia’s Euros opener against the Three Lions, with Harry Kane struggling to even get a kick in the game.
The Serbian defender was aggressive with Kane from the first minute until the last, not allowing the former Spurs striker to turn on the ball or win anything in the air.
TBR Football have claimed that the 26-year-old’s display at the Veltins Arena has attracted the attention of several Premier League sides who were already admirers of the defender, including Tottenham.
It is alleged that Ange Postecoglou is seeking reinforcements at the back this summer and the Lilywhites could push ahead with the move for the Fiorentina man.
Spurs have competition in race for Milenkovic
The report reveals that West Ham had also previously made an approach for Milenkovic and could try again for him this summer while Nottingham Forest, Aston Villa, Newcastle and Fulham are also monitoring his situation.
Tottenham currently have the likes of Cristian Romero, Micky Van de Ven and Radu Dragusin to choose from in the centre of defence.
Spurs Web Opinion
A defender of Milenkovic’s profile would be an ideal signing for Spurs as it would hit two birds with one stone, with the Serbian acting as cover for Pedro Porro at right-back while also giving Ange an additional option in central defence.
The only issue is that Milenkovic is right-footed and I get the sense that Spurs want left-footed cover for Van de Ven, or at least someone who has a lot of experience on that side.
