According to Calciomercato, Everton have joined Tottenham and West Ham in the race to sign Nikola Milenkovic from Fiorentina.
The 6-foot-4 colossus has enjoyed a strong season in Serie A, making 31 appearances in which he scored three goals and recorded one assist.
Interestingly, the Italian media believes that Fiorentina will be forced to sell this summer, as Milenkovic’s contract runs out in 2022.

The Italian team expects to receive € 30 million (£ 26 million) for their number 4.
Calciomercato claims Manchester United, Inter Milan and AC Milan are also interested in the Serbian international of 28 caps.
In that regard, Everton, Tottenham and West Ham face serious competition for the signing of the 23-year-old.

Milenkovic is far from a household name, yet, so you may know a lot about him now.
If that’s the case, then a useful comparison has been made.
The Serbian has been compared to Manchester United icon Nemanja Vidić, who is arguably one of the best Premier League defenders of all time.

Plus, despite being just 23, Milenkovic helped keep none other than Cristiano Ronaldo quiet recently.
The imposing center-back helped Fiorentina score a 1-1 draw against Juventus on April 25, in which the five-time Ballon d’Or winner failed to make it onto the scoresheet.
By all accounts, it appears that Everton, Tottenham and West Ham have identified a fantastic defender, who would surely improve them.
