Nikola Vlasic: Last News

West Ham fear Newcastle could be poised to hijack their £30m move for Nayef Aguerd - as David Moyes targets a reunion with Adnan Januzaj.Rennes defender Aguerd flew in to London for a medical with the Hammers this week after a breakthrough in talks between the clubs. But late interest from Newcastle has thrown the move into doubt, with Morocco star Aguerd yet to make up his mind on who to join.West Ham boss Moyes wants to sign a defender and a striker this summer but is also in the market for a forward with Nikola Vlasic's future unclear.The Hammers have made no progress with their interest in Jesse Lingard, but Moyes is now weighing up a surprise move for Januzaj.

Burnley ace Ashley Westwood suffered a serious looking injury following a tackle from the West Ham man.The two sides met in the Premier League on Sunday afternoon though Westwood needed urgent treatment and was stretchered off following a challenge from Vlasic.The game was paused for over five minutes as Westwood received treatment from the Burnley medical staff with Josh Brownhill replacing him. Westwood reportedly smiled as he was carried off the pitch to applause from both sets of fans.Former Liverpool and Republic of Ireland midfielder Ray Houghton said: "Sometimes the most innocuous challenges can turn out to be the biggest injuries. "If I was the managers, I'd be getting the players away from Westwood; let the medical teams deal with it.

West Ham were extremely close to landing Luis Diaz in January before he was snapped up by Liverpool.The Hammers - who are fighting for a Champions League spot - have been on the lookout for another striker ever since they sold Sebastien Haller to Ajax in 2021 after his failed spell.David Moyes’ side have only Michail Antonio and Nikola Vlasic among the squad as their only out-and-out strikers and consequently tried to secure Diaz in the transfer market last month.And their manager said that the move for the Columbian had progressed well before he opted to go to Anfield, signing a five-year contract in a move worth £37.5 million with £12.5 million in potential add-ons."I spoke to Luis Diaz on the phone, we were quite far down the line to sign him from Porto," Moyes said."My understanding was that Liverpool planned to come in in the summer, so we thought we'd try and get him in January. I don't know if that affected Liverpool's decision, but he's a really good player and we didn't get him."Our ambitions are to sign the best players we can to try to improve West Ham.

West Ham’s co-owner David Gold made a Twitter blunder during his latest post on social media.The 84-year-old has enjoyed a successful summer, seeing his team sit second in the Premier League after going unbeaten in their first three games with 10 goals.While they have also strengthened ahead of the Europa League campaign, spending more than £60m on three players as well as securing two loans.But Gold’s post intended to welcome four of those players ended up with him making an awkward gaffe. The Hammers co-owner shared a graphic with centre-back Kurt Zouma, deadline-day transfer Nikola Vlasic, Spartak Moscow loanee Alex Kral and PSG shot-stopper Alphonse Areola.
