ExWHUemployee: West Ham United attacker Nikola Vlasic wanted in three countries
West Ham are reportedly set to make a loss on Nikola Vlasic as they are looking to cash in on his services this summer.
According to ExWHUemployee, the £26million Hammers signing is wanted in Italy, Spain and Germany, with Torino understood to be favourites to secure his signature.
The Irons are understood to be willing to part ways with the Croatian after he failed to impress in his first season at the club.
He said on the West Ham Way Podcast, “There is interest in Italy from Torino but there is also interest in him from Spain and Germany.
“The manager of Torino is Croatian and Vlasic is also Croatian so there’s a link there that would make a move to them make sense.
“We’re going to take a bit of a hit on him because his initial fee was about £26million and now we’re looking to sell him.”
Sell him
This was a pointless signing in the first place and was clearly done because Jesse Lingard could not be convinced last summer.
Just because they play similar positions does not been that they are similar players and that has proven to be the case.
David Moyes surely would not have been impressed with the Croatian and that brings up doubts over who sanctioned his transfer in the first place.
Hopefully, from this summer, the transfer policy changes as there’s a desperate need for things to be done differently.
We’re unsure how much the Hammers will get from the sale of Vlasic and it should be done sooner rather than later for him.
