It seems as though the Hammers are exploring alternate options to the Manchester United ace.

West Ham eyeing swoop for Vlasic

That’s according to The Guardian who suggest that Hammers boss Moyes could try to bring the 23-year-old play-maker back to the Premier League.

Vlasic spent two years with Everton before being sold to CSKA Moscow in 2019.

The 26-capped Croatia international has been in fine form in Russia scoring 12 and 13 goals respectively in his last two seasons with CSKA (Transfermarkt).

Vlasic could cost around £25 million this summer according to AC Milan Info.

And West Ham face competition from Milan for his services.

The CSKA ace would be a fine addition for the Hammers. It must be said that £25 million seems like an awful lot of money for someone who struggled in the Premier League before.
