West Ham midfielder Nikola Vlasic monitored by two European clubs – report
West Ham attacking midfielder Nikola Vlasic has been attracting interest from clubs in Italy and Croatia, according to Dalmatinski.
The 24-year-old has found it hard to settle at the London-based club ever since making a move in the summer of 2021 from Russian club CSKA Moscow in a deal worth £30 million.
It is believed that West Ham manager David Moyes is willing to send the Croatia international on loan for the 2022-23 season.
As per the latest report, Serie A outfit Torino and Croatian side HNK Hajduk Split are interested in making a move for the midfielder.
Forgotten signing
Vlasic is a player who arrived at the London Stadium with a lot of expectations but he never lived up to the hype in the first campaign.
The Croatia international scored only one goal in the recently concluded season across 19 Premier League appearances. He had three goal contributions across 36 games in all competitions [Transfermarkt].
Despite having a difficult first season at the club, the 24-year-old still has a fantastic ability to run with the ball and bring other defenders towards him, creating spaces for the other attacking players.
Considering the fact that West Ham had a more than decent season without any significant contribution from the attacking midfielder, it shows that the London-based outfit has what it takes to survive without the services of their £30million-worth player.
Therefore, it will be better for all the parties including the player himself if the former CSKA Moscow midfielder leaves the club and go somewhere he will have guaranteed minutes under his belt to regain his form and confidence.
