West Ham are reportedly closing in on a move to sign Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic – despite interest from Tottenham and Fabio Paratici. Milenkovic has caught the eye after a number of excellent seasons with La Viola. West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to reports regarding Milenkovic.

The 23-year-old defender, standing at a lofty 6ft 5in, has been regularly linked with a move to the London Stadium. West Ham certainly need additions at centre-back, as they embark on a Europa League campaign. Earlier this summer, Fabian Balbuena’s contract came to an end.

What are West Ham fans saying about Milenkovic – and beating Tottenham?

With talks over a deal for Chelsea ace Kurt Zouma hitting a stand still, West Ham have moved on quickly – pursuing Serbia international Milenkovic. Alfredo Pedulla reports that West Ham are closing in on a £14.5million plus add-ons deal. But the Hammers need to be aware that Tottenham are keen.

The report states that with Tottenham close to announcing Argentina international Romero – they could look at another central defender. It is believed that Milenkovic is well-liked by Paratici. But West Ham are leading the charge and West Ham fans have discussed the latest reports on Twitter.
