Hammer could FINALLY leave

|

West Ham flop Nikola Vlasic finally looks to be on his way out of the club!

The £28m signing from CSKA Moscow was utterly dreadful at times for the Irons and only managed to score one league goal last season.

He has subsequently been sent out on loan to Serie A club Torino, and he has been in exceptional form for the Italian side.

A Croatia international, Vlasic has made eight appearances in the Italian top-flight, scoring three goals, and it very much seems that Torino want to keep him.

A new report in La Stampa reports that the club have made their minds up and intend to make a bid for Vlasic so they can tie him down permanently.

In the deal to loan him out, the Hammers agreed to a purchase option of €15m, which equates to £13.1m.

It remains to be seen if Torino will be willing to pay that – this may be why they are in discussions with the Irons – but talks are said to be ongoing, and Vlasic could leave as soon as January.
