West Ham United are said to be in pole position to sign CSKA Moscow attacking midfielder Nicola Vlasic, as reported by Calciomercato journalist Daniele Longo on Twitter.

Putting up impressive numbers in 2020/21, the 23-year-old ace registered 18 goal contributions in 34 appearances; 12 goals and six assists [Transfermarkt].

Now, he could be on his way to England following recent developments.

Communicating to his following on Twitter on his personal account, the Italian journalist stated that the 'Hammers are approaching' to meeting his current employers' financial demands for the talented attacker, who has plied his trade in the Premier League once before, struggling at Everton.

Longo is tracking the Vlasic saga due to Milan's interest - he is a Milan podcaster as well as reporter.

In light of this news, no wonder loads of West Ham United diehards took to Twitter to voice their opinions on the latest target, given their desperation for more transfer business from GSB this summer.
