Tottenham 'ramp up interest in Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic after West Ham pulled out of talks for the £14m-rated star'... and director of football Fabio Paratici 'wanted to sign the Serbian for Juventus'

Tottenham are set to make their move for Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic after West Ham United stepped down from talks, according to reports.

Sportsmail reported earlier this month that David Moyes' side were locked in negotiations with the Serie A outfit over their Serbian centre-back, but the Hammers had faced competition from Juventus - who were also in the market for a defender after letting Merih Demiral join Atalanta.

But the Times claim that the West London outfit have now withdrawn from the running for Milenkovic - with Tottenham now eyeing him up.
