MOSCOW (AP) — CSKA Moscow has signed attacking midfielder Nikola Vlasic from Everton after he spent last season on loan with the Russian club.

The 21-year-old Croat endeared himself to CSKA fans by scoring the only goal in a 1-0 Champions League win over Real Madrid in Moscow in October. He finished with eight goals from 31 games for the season.

CSKA says Vlasic has signed a five-year deal through 2024.

Vlasic joined Everton in 2017 from Dinamo Zagreb and played 19 games the following season before being loaned to CSKA.
