West Ham set to sign Nikola Vlasic from CSKA Moscow

West Ham United are close to signing CSKA Moscow attacking midfielder Nikola Vlasic.

According to the Guardian, the Premier League club will pay around £25.7 million for the 23-year-old.

Vlasic performed well last season, bagging 12 goals and six assists for the Russian club.

He was also a key member of Croatia’s squad during the European Championships earlier this summer.

The Hammers initially wanted to sign Jesse Lingard permanently from Manchester United after a successful loan spell during the second half of last season.
