    And versatile Milenkovic, who can play at right-back or centre-back, fits the bill perfectly.
    He was previously linked to Manchester United and Arsenal before a move to West Ham was on the cards.
    But according to Sky Sports, Tottenham hope to pounce after the Hammers switch broke down.
    Milenkovic, 23, is into the final year of his contract with the Serie A side.
    The 6ft 5ins Serbian ace came through the ranks at Partizan Belgrade before joining Fiorentina in 2017.
    He has 127 appearances for the club and 11 goals – as well as 28 caps for the senior Serbia national team.

    Milenkovic is not the only name on director of football Fabio Paratici’s transfer wishlist.
    Extra reinforcement in the backline is a priority following Toby Alderweireld’s departure for Qatari side Al-Duhail while Juan Foyth made his switch to Villarreal permanent.

    They have already splashed out £47million on Cristian Romero from Atalanta.
    Tottenham are in talks with Bologna’s £17m-rated Takehiro Tomiyasu, although no agreement has been reached and Milenkovic would likely be cheaper.
    Villarreal and Spain man Pau Torres is also a target – but has a £55m release clause.

    Tottenham plotting £55m transfer swoop for Villarreal’s ex-Man Utd target Pau Torres to partner Cristian Romero

    TOTTENHAM are plotting a £55million transfer swoop for Villarreal’s Pau Torres, according to reports.The North Londoners want to bring in another centre-back before the summer window closes on August 31.

    They lost Toby Alderweireld to Qatari side Al-Duhail but did splash out £47million on Cristian Romero.
    But director of football Fabio Paratici still sees the defence as a priority position to bolster.
    And according to The Times, Torres has been identified as a target.
    His release clause rose from £47m to £55m last season when he hit a threshold for international caps.
    But Spurs may see if the Spanish side will accept a fee slightly below that.
    Torres, 24, played a key role in Villarreal’s run to winning the Europa League last season, beating Manchester United on penalties.

    BETTING SPECIAL – GET MAN CITY AT 7/1 OR TOTTENHAM AT 33/1
    His fine form earned him a spot in Spain’s Euro 2020 squad.
    He featured in all six games as Luis Enrique’s side reached the semi-finals – and then played every minute of Spain’s run to the Olympics final.
    Torres was previously linked with United and Real Madrid.
    But the Red Devils opted for Raphael Varane instead, unveiling the £34m signing at Old Trafford before Saturday’s win over Leeds.
    And Los Blancos’ financial struggles mean they used the wages freed up by Sergio Ramos’ exit to fund David Alaba.
    Quizzed about his future earlier in the summer, Torres refused to be drawn on speculation.

    He said: “I have a contract at Villarreal.
    “I just won the first title for the club, we have qualified for the Champions League and it is something that excites me a lot.
    “Now I’m focused on the Euros. Then the Super Cup and nice things will come, so I’m totally calm.”

    Arsenal and Tottenham in five-club transfer battle for Denis Zakaria with £17m midfielder set to quit Monchengladbach

    ARSENAL and Tottenham are reportedly locked in a five-club transfer battle for Denis Zakaria. The Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder could be heading for a £17million move this summer.

    Arsenal and Spurs are reportedly set to face competition from Everton, Roma and Napoli for the highly-rated midfielder.
    The Switzerland international has attracted plenty of interest this summer with a move from Germany looking increasingly likely.
    Zakaria made two appearances for Switzerland at Euro 2020 including their quarter-final against Spain.
    The 24-year-old was troubled by a knee injury last season and this could result in Monchengladbach accepting a lower transfer fee.
    Zakaria only has one year remaining on his current contract and the German club could be ready to offload him before his deal runs out.
    The defensive midfielder made 32 appearances for Monchengladbach last season scoring once.
    Zakaria is reportedly stepping up his fitness levels in a bid to earn a lucrative move this summer.

    With three Premier League clubs chasing his signature, Zakaria is hoping to land a big transfer.
    It is not the first time the midfielder has been linked with a move to England, with Manchester United and Liverpool reportedly interested in him last year.
    He was valued at £43m last year but with his contract running down clubs could be able to sign him for less than half this figure.

    Tanguy Ndombele ‘weighing up Tottenham options’ with Nuno not giving £200k-a-week midfielder a minute of pre-season

    TANGUY NDOMBELE is ‘weighing up his options’ as he considers his Tottenham future, according to reports. The midfielder, 24, did not feature for a single minute across the five pre-season matches.
    Tanguy Ndombele’s future at Tottenham could be in doubt – but selling the Frenchman could prove difficultCredit: Getty
    And according to The Athletic, the £55million record signing could leave Spurs before deadline day at the end of August if he remains sidelined.
    Ndombele had paternity leave during pre-season but trained and was available for the friendlies with Chelsea and Arsenal – but was simply not picked for the matchday squad by new boss Nuno Espirito Santo.
    It looks very unlikely he will be involved against champions Manchester City in their Premier League opener this Sunday as he still needs to win over Santo.
    The former Lyon man is a reserved individual who does not like confrontation, so has not approached Nuno with regards to the ongoing omission.
    To make matters worse for him, two of his closest friends at Tottenham, Moussa Sissoko and Serge Aurier, could both be on their way out of the club.
    The problem for Ndombele and Tottenham, though, is that Spurs splashed out a massive record fee for him just two years ago.
    And they tied him down to a six-year contract until 2025 worth £200,000 per week.
    That is likely to price out most potential suitors.
    Tottenham beat plenty of competition to Ndombele’s signature in 2019.
    One of those clubs pipped was Paris Saint-Germain.
    But they will not be going back in for the midfielder after signing Gini Wijnaldum for free this summer and breaking the bank to bring in Lionel Messi.

    During Ndombele’s public struggles with ex-manager Jose Mourinho, he was linked with Barcelona.
    But the Spanish club are in financial disarray and cannot register any new players while they are operating way beyond their limits.
    It means the incredibly-talented Ndombele may be forced to stay put in North London and try to prove he can fit into Santo’s system in midfield.

    Spurs are determined to hold on to Harry Kane although Manchester City are likely to make another offer for him.
    The potential exit of England captain Kane would leave Tottenham needing to find a replacement.
    And the Premier League club have joined rivals Arsenal in weighing up a move for Vlahovic.
    The 21-year-old Serbia forward has attracted interest from clubs across Europe including Atletico Madrid and AC Milan.
    Vlahovic scored 21 goals in 37 Serie A games last season and is being touted for a £50million move.
    The former Partizan Belgrade striker was named the best young player in Serie A last season.

    Arsenal are also interested in bringing him to the club although Vlahovic’s price tag could prove a stumbling block.
    The powerful striker has scored two goals in his seven appearances for Serbia.
    Fiorentina will not want to sell the rising star but may have to let him go if they receive a big offer this summer.

    According to ABC, the winger has checked into a nearby hotel where the Andalusians usually gather before matches.
    This is a major indication that a reported swap deal involving the Argentina international and Sevilla’s hot young prospect Gil is going to materialise.
    According to El Desmarque, the exchange will be made official as early as Monday.
    Spurs are set to pay Sevilla an additional £21million to get the highly rated winger, who spent last season on loan at Eibar.
    If the deal goes through then Lamela is going to travel to Lagos, Portugal for Sevilla’s pre-season training camp.
    The Argentine joined Tottenham in 2013 from Roma for a then club record fee of £30m.
    But the 29-year-old didn’t exactly live up to expectations as he only managed 37 goals and 47 assists in 257 appearances.
