Luka Milivojevic: Midfielder catching the eye

West Ham scouts have been closely monitoring Olympiakos midfielder Luka Milivojevic ahead of potential £8.5million move in January.

According to the Daily Record, Slaven Bilic has been listening to ‘rave reviews’ about the Serbian international after scouts recently watched him for four matches in both the Greek League and the Europa League.

The 25-year-old is also said to be attracting interest from Valencia and while Olympiakos are reluctant to sell one of their prized assets, it is thought that £8.5million would be enough for the Greek side to part with him.

Milivojevic’s current deal with the club runs until 2019, and so far this season he has made 19 appearances in which he has scored on four occasions and also registered two assists.
