West Ham expected to complete summer move to €20m-rated target – originally posted on Sportslens.com
West Ham United have been linked with a move for Nikola Milenkovic for weeks now.
Corriere dello Sport (via Sportwitness) are now claiming that the player will leave for the Hammers.
Apparently, the Italian club value the 23-year-old Serbian at €20 million but the Hammers are willing to offer €15 million for his services.
The report further states that bonuses could be included in the deal to satisfy Fiorentina.
Milenkovic is in the final year of his contract with the Italian outfit and they will need to cash in on him this summer. The player is thought to be unwilling to sign a new contract with them and they cannot afford to lose the Serbian on a free transfer next year.
A move to the Premier League would be the ideal step up in the player’s career right now and West Ham seems like the ideal platform for him.
The Hammers will be able to offer him regular football at a high level and he could experience European football with them next season as well.
The defender is only 23 and he could improve a lot with experience and coaching. A move to the Premier League would enable the player to test himself against some of the best attackers in the world and it could accelerate his development.
Meanwhile, West Ham needed to improve defensively this summer and the arrival of Milenkovic will certainly add more quality and depth to their back four.
