West Ham target Fiorentina defender Milenkovic; keen on West Brom's Pereira

West Ham United are eyeing Fiorentina defender Nikola Milenkovic.

Hammers boss David Moyes will instead push on with his initial interest in Milenkovic, 23, who is valued at £14m by Fiorentina.

The Serbia international only has one year left on his deal with the Serie A club, which is why he is available at such a knockdown price.

Milenkovic is thought to be keen on a move to West Ham, despite interest earlier this summer from Juventus and Tottenham.

Moyes will then focus on landing a new striker, says The Sun.

Tammy Abraham has been linked to The Hammers but Arsenal could look to hijack a potential deal.

Moyes is also trying to persuade West Brom to loan Brazilian attacker Matheus Pereira before a permanent transfer.
