Vlasic is not the first to start slow at West Ham - but assist for Yarmolenko shows he's on right path A lack of pre-season has not helped Nikola Vlasic - but there were signs against Rapid Vienna that he is getting up to speed at West Ham.
Plays with Croatia over break Vlasic played in both of Croatia's matches over the international break, returning from an undisclosed issue.
Impact Vlasic missed West Ham's two matches prior to the break, but it looks like he's good to go again. He hasn't found a role in the team in league play and will try to rack up more minutes in Europa League with two more group matches left.

Picks up unknown issue Vlasic is a late test for Sunday's match against Liverpool after missing the midweek UEL contest, against to manager David Moyes.
Impact Vlasic has played just one minute in the last two league matches, so his possible absence won't change much Sunday. He got a bit more time earlier in the season, but he's still lacking the quality to play in the Premier League and won't be used often unless injuries in the side occur.

Misses prime opportunity in loss Vlasic took one shot (none on target), sent one cross (none accurate) and made two tackles (one won) during the 2-1 loss to Manchester United on Sunday.
Impact Vlasic has not been in terrific form since his arrival to West Ham, but he has been much better than the stats suggest. The forward has put himself in the spots needed to succeed, but his composure has gotten the best of him. The exact same thing happened Sunday when he had the perfect chance in the box, but he soared the shot over the net. With Michail Antonio set to return from suspension, it will be interesting to see what role Vlasic will fill moving forward.

Signs with West Ham Vlasic has signed a five-year deal with West Ham from Russian side CSKA Moscow.
Impact Vlasic brings another attacking presence to West Ham at just 23 years old. He featured with Croatia in this summer's Euros and he's been a regular at CSKA Moscow the last few seasons. He can be used as depth for any position in West Ham's attack, though he played as more of a central attacking midfielder at CSKA. Prior to CSKA, he was at Everton where things never really worked out.
