Nikola Milenkovic set to join West Ham

West Ham are closing in on the signing of Nikola Milenkovic according to reports.

Nikola Milenkovic has just entered the final year of his contract at Fiorentina.

They are thought to be ready to cash in on the centre-half after receiving an offer from West Ham.

The Hammers had also been in talks with Chelsea over a possible transfer for Zouma.

But they have turned their attention to Milenkovic due to the fact he is currently available for a cut-price fee.

Who is Nikola Milenkovic

Nikola Milenkovic has emerged as one of the top defenders in Italy during his time at Fiorentina.

He initially moved to the Artemio Franchi Stadium from Partizan Belgrade in 2017.

The 24-year-old has appeared in 133 games in all competitions for La Viola to date, scoring 11 goals, and his presence could help West Ham fight for European qualification again in 2021-22.

Moyes already has the likes of Angelo Ogbonna, Craig Dawson and Issa Diop to call upon in the heart of the defence, but Milenkovic has the quality and experience to slot straight into his starting XI if the Hammers can push the transfer over the line.
