‘Truth by August 4th’, Italian press say Spurs have ‘already done a survey’

Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with a number of defenders this summer and even though they have signed Clement Lenglet from Barcelona on a loan deal, they are reportedly on the lookout for another centre-back.

According to a report via Fiorentina.it, the Premier League side has run the rule over Serbian international defender Nikola Milenkovic who could be on the move this summer. The report says Spurs have ‘already done a survey’ of the player in recent weeks.

The Fiorentina defender is still undecided about his future and he has been linked with the likes of Inter Milan and Juventus as well.

All three clubs will be able to provide him with Champions League football next season and it remains to be seen whether the player is ready to make a step up in his career.

Tottenham have an excellent centre-back in Cristian Romero and Milenkovic could be the ideal long-term partner for the Argentine international at the heart of Antonio Conte’s defence.

The 24-year-old has shown his quality in the Italian league and he has the potential to succeed in the Premier League as well. A manager like Conte could help him develop further and fulfill his potential at the London club.
