Sam Allardyce has admitted that Nikola Vlasic is frustrated at a lack of game time this season.

Everton supporters should be concerned that Nikola Vlasic has become frustrated at Goodison Park.

Sam Allardyce has admitted to the Liverpool Echo, that Vlasic would like to be playing more regularly.

And, given Allardyce’s suggestion that Everton needed to trim their squad recently to TalkSPORT, the comments about the Croatian should be a concern.

“He’s found it very difficult because he’s used to playing,” Allardyce said of the £10 million signing.

“He’s frustrated but he’s only a young man.”

If Vlasic really is frustrated about being left in reserve, Everton may have a decision to make over the 20-year-old in the summer.

If Allardyce remains in charge it seems unlikely that Vlasic will have a part to play in the first-team, as he has been overlooked so regularly this term.

And that could mean that Everton have to either sell or loan the youngster out.

Losing Vlasic, even temporarily, could be an error for Everton – as he looks like a superb prospect.

Vlasic was one of the bright spots of Ronald Koeman’s reign at the start of the season.

And if Everton were to lose Vlasic at such an early stage of his career, it could be a decision that they live to regret in future years, if he goes on to fulfil his potential.
