Ex-West Ham United scout Gianluca Nani believes Nikola Milenković is perfect fit
Ex-West Ham United scout Gianluca Nani believes Fiorentina centre-back Nikola Milenkovic is the perfect fit for David Moyes and the London club.
The 24-year-old is a solid talent and has all the physical attributes to thrive in the tough and rough English Premier League.
Nani admitted that Milenkovic would be “excellent” for the Hammers and that the club should look at making a move for him in January or the summer.
“He has all the characteristics to play in England. (Milenkovic has the) perfect physical characteristics for West Ham,” said Nani as quoted by Radio Firenze Viola.
“I see him as excellent for the Hammers. They should look for him. I don’t know if it will happen in January.”
Perfect addition.
Yes, the Italian scouting machine is completely right on this one, Milenkovic would be a lovely little addition to the Hammers squad.
He’s an outstanding centre-back and was terrific for Fiorentina in Serie A last season and looks to be the complete real deal.
Milenkovic is extremely comfortable with the ball at his feet and loves to make progressive passes up the pitch, something Moyes would love.
And he’s the kind of defender who could easily link up play to Declan Rice and Lucas Paqueta in the Hammers engine room with ease.
Moyes needs to take Nani’s advice on this one, the Serbian is a top talent and is the exact kind of player the Irons need in their defensive ranks.
West Ham United have shown interest in Milenkovic, so you never know, Moyes may still be in cahoots with the Italian scout and taking him up on his advice.
