Defender ‘virtually a new West Ham player’ – Will say ‘goodbye to teammates at the latest tomorrow’

It appears that Nikola Milenkovic’s transfer to London Stadium is on the verge of being completed.

That’s according to the latest from Italy, with TuttoMercatoWeb claiming the defender is ‘virtually a new West Ham player’.

The Serbian is reportedly ‘ready to marry London’, where he will be playing in the Premier League under David Moyes for the Hammers.

The website explain ‘the discussions between the various parties involved are proceeding swiftly, and, at the latest tomorrow, Milenkovic will say goodbye to Fiorentina once and for all’.

If you were wondering at what stage the negotiations between West Ham and the Serie A side are at, TuttoMercatoWeb also have you covered, stating they are at the ‘details’ stage.

There’s no mention of price, but with one year left on his contract in Florence, we can’t see the Hammers paying all that much for a defender of his ilk, once widely courted by the likes of Manchester United, Liverpool and Tottenham.
