West Ham and Tottenham eyeing bargain summer move for 25-cap international – originally posted on Sportslens.com
Tottenham Hotspur are keen on signing a centre back at the end of the season and Jose Mourinho is thought to be keen on the Napoli centre back Nikola Maksimovic.
The 29-year-old Serbian international will be a free agent at the end of the season and he is unlikely to sign a new deal with the Italian club.
According to Torino Granata, West Ham United are interested in signing the experienced centre back as well and it will be interesting to see where Maksimovic ends up eventually.
SL View: Superb bargain move for both sides
Spurs could definitely use more defensive depth especially with the likes of Davinson Sanchez failing to impress Mourinho the season. Furthermore, Toby Alderweireld is in the twilight of his career and the likes of Japhet Tanganga and Joe Rodon are quite inexperienced.
The 25-cap Serbian international could be a useful option for Mourinho next season and signing him on a free transfer should be a no brainer.
Similarly, David Moyes could use the 29-year old alongside the likes of Issa Diop, Craig Dawson and Angelo Ogbonna next season.
The Hammers have a great opportunity to secure European football next year and they will need a deeper squad to compete on all fronts.
Maksimovic has the quality and the experience to improve the West Ham defence and he could prove to be up a super bargain for both Premier League sides.
The 29-year-old is likely to demand regular first-team football from his suitors and that could be the main deciding factor behind his transfer this summer.
