Report: Vlasic nightmare could be over

Nikola Vlasic could finally be set to leave the club this week, if reports in Italy are to be believed.

We reported last week that there had been no contact from Serie A over a deal for the Croatia international.

But a new report in the country, from Calciomercato, claims that Vlasic is wanted by Torino.

They were linked last week as well but it seems the deal has moved on, with there being a willingness from Vlasic to make the move.

Torino are aiming to sign him on loan with an option to buy as they look to strengthen their squad, and the Irons flop is said to be putting pressure on the Hammers to sanction the move.

Vlasic has been a disaster at the London Stadium, scoring just once last season and only making six starts in the Premier League.

We’re cautious on this one because of what we were told last week, but the link isn’t going away.
