🚨REPORT : Nottingham Forest Ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in Race for Serie A Defender

Tottenham are eyeing the Serbian defender in their pursuit of Nottingham Forest’s lead

   Tottenham Hotspur will overhaul their squad this summer, focusing on a standout centre-back to bolster their ranks.    However, Nottingham Forest currently have the upper hand in the pursuit of this highly-rated player.

   Tottenham’s summer overhaul

   North London side Tottenham Hotspur are on the verge of a major squad overhaul.    With as many as ten players expected to leave, the club have already made progress in their recruitment efforts, securing the signings of Tim Werner from RB Leipzig and Archie Gray from Leeds United.    Now attention turns to strengthening their defensive line.

   Nikola Milenkovic in Tottenham’s sights

   According to Corriere dello Sport, Tottenham have set their sights on Fiorentina’s Nikola Milenkovic.    The 26-year-old Serbian centre-back has attracted attention with his impressive performances in Serie A since joining from Partizan in 2017.

   Nottingham Forest lead the race

   Despite Tottenham’s interest, Nottingham Forest are currently leading the race for Milenkovic’s signature.    The East Midlands club have already submitted a hefty proposal, which Fiorentina are seriously considering.    While Aston Villa and Fulham are also monitoring the situation, it is Forest who look to be in the best position.

   Spurs potential late offer

   Tottenham could still make a late push to secure Milenkovic but face stiff competition from Nottingham Forest.    The Ostrogs still need to make up some ground if they want to lure the Serbian national team to North London.    With the transfer window open, the coming weeks will be crucial in determining whether Tottenham can bolster their defense with this sought-after talent.

   As the transfer saga unfolds, Tottenham’s pursuit of Nikola Milenkovic will be something to watch, especially with Nottingham Forest currently holding the upper hand.    Both clubs are keen to secure a defender who could make a significant impact on their Premier League campaigns.
