West Ham are set to lose £13 million when Nikola Vlasic is sold to Torino at the end of the season.

Manager David Moyes bought the attacking midfielder from CSKA Moscow for £26 million but ClaretandHugh  has learned the player will be allowed to leave for Torino for £13 million

It looks a serious bargain for the Italian outfit where so far Vlasic has scored three goals during his loan spell with the club.

Vlasic’s form has been boosted since he was used more as an ‘in the hole’ player rather than the wing role in which Moyes used him at the Hammers.

As such he managed just one goal in over 20 appearances many of which were as a substitute although some believed he wasn’t a Premier League player and would find the slower pace of Italian football more suitable.

There is no way back for the player now with the Hammers having agreed a price with Torino .
