The 23-year-old Croatian joined the Hammers on Tuesday for around £25 million plus £6 million in add-ons (ExWHUemployee).
Much is expected of Vlasic at the London Stadium.
The West Ham fans are incredibly excited about what the Croatia international has to offer.
Vlasic linking up with our red-hot attacking players really is an exciting prospect.
Father of Vlasic admires Antonio
Michail Antonio will surely improve even further still when the Croatian ace gets on the pitch.
And vice-versa. Vlasic’s father spoke to Vecerjni List and praised the 31-year-old West Ham attacker:
“It’s a great team, with some great players like the striker Antonio. I think Nikola will fit in well with the system. West Ham also have a good manager, and I hear they also have good working conditions. I just don’t know if they have a gym with artificial turf. I heard something about it but I have to check”.
It sounds as though Vlasic’s dad is just as excited to see his son in action with his new teammates as we are.
These are great times to be a West Ham fan.
