Nottingham Forest have made defender Nikola Milenkovic their fifth signing of the summer transfer window.
The 26-year-old Serbia international has made the move to the City Ground from Fiorentina and has penned a five-year deal. The Reds are said to have paid an initial £12 million to secure his services.
Milenkovic’s arrival adds to some positive early business overseen by the club. He follows goalkeeper Carlos Miguel, midfielder Elliot Anderson and right-back Eric da Silva Moreira in linking up with Nuno Espirito Santo’s squad, with midfielder Marko Stamenic having gone on loan to Olympiacos after putting pen to paper.
The Reds have been in need of bolstering their central defensive options. Felipe, Scott McKenna and Loic Mbe Soh were released at the end of their contracts, while Moussa Niakhate and Jonathan Panzo have since left. Joe Worrall is also expected to move on before the window closes on August 30.
