Tottenham join Man Utd interest in Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic

Tottenham have joined Manchester United's interest in Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic.

The Mirror says with doubts remaining over the future of Toby Alderweireld, Tottenham are among a number of clubs tracking the 20-year-old Serbian.

Alderweireld has just a year left on his current contract.

Spurs have an option to extend it until 2020, but a clause means the Belgium international centre-back could still leave next summer for a fee of just £25million.

Manchester United — where Serb centre-back Nemanja Vidic is a club legend — are already big admirers of his talent, to potentially reunite him with international team-mate midfielder Nemanja Matic.

The former Partizan Belgrade star, currently on international duty, moved to Florence-based Fiorentina last year for just £4m and and has since attracted high praise with his displays in Serie A.
