Nikola Milenkovic was this week linked with a move to Tottenham Hotspur, with seemingly no other reason than he played for Serbia against England at the weekend.
There’s nothing to back it up in the media close to Fiorentina, but rather the odd expression of surprise.
Youssouf Fofana came on very late for France against Austria and he too is now being linked with Tottenham, and West Ham, although to be fair the rumours around the Frenchman have been prevalent in recent months.
Corriere Torino report the AS Monaco player is of interest to Juventus, and there’s ‘strong competition’ from AC Milan, Tottenham and West Ham.
The estimated cost is €20-30m, which is presented as a potential bargain, and lower than it otherwise would have been because his contract expires next year.
Fofana will therefore be one for Spurs and Hammers fans to keep an eye on for the rest of the tournament, and if he picks up a decent amount of minutes then the claims will surely rise around the 25-year-old.
