West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to react after the club posted a photo of Nikola Vlasic arriving at Rush Green earlier today.
What’s the story?
Well, the 23-year-old hasn’t actually had a moment to breathe and think about his £25.7m move to West Ham.
The 29-cap Croatia international has been on international duty ever since he completed his return to the Premier League.
Vlasic scored in a 3-0 win over Slovakia yesterday to end the international break on a high, and he has now arrived in east London with his new side.
It was his first goal of the season, having failed to score in five outings before his departure from CSKA Moscow.
David Moyes is able to select Vlasic against Southampton this weekend.
The ex-Everton winger should be fit and ready to go, after playing two games for Croatia over the break.
Where will West Ham play Nikola Vlasic?
Moyes has some fantastic attacking options at his disposal now, and in truth, it’s hard to see where Vlasic fits in.
If we were in charge, we’d use the Split-born forward out on the left flank, where he can cut inside on his deadly right foot.
However, that is Saïd Benrahma’s territory.
Alternatively, Vlasic can be used behind the striker in an attacking midfield role, where Pablo Fornals has shone this season.
Clearly, the Croatian has a fight on his hands to start for the Hammers.
In our view, that’s only a problem for him. With Europa League football to contend with this term, it’s vital that Moyes has quality depth.
