WEST HAM flop Nikola Vlasic has fired a stunning blast at the club.
Vlasic, 25, signed for the Hammers for £25.7million back in 2021 but failed to earn significant minutes before being sent on loan to Torino last season.

In Italy, he played 34 times in the Serie A, scoring five goals and adding six assists.
However, now back in London, Vlasic has made clear his intention to make the move permanent.
And in doing so the Croatia international has launched a remarkable rant at West Ham.
While speaking to TuttoSport, Vlasic blasted the club for not communicating their asking price to Torino, who the winger claims have submitted a transfer offer worth £7.7m.
He fumed: “I’m fed up with this dead-end situation. We all know that I’m not considered an important player here, I’m just one of many in the reserve group.
“I returned to London respecting the call-up with great fairness and I am training every day with the utmost professionalism, but this cannot be the solution.
“I’ve been telling you for two months that I want to play for Torino, that I no longer want to stay at West Ham under these conditions, on the sidelines.”
Vlasic also declared his family do not want to return, adding: “My family never wants to go back to live in England.

“I’m not interested in evaluating other market hypotheses, if ever there were.
“Your behaviour is incomprehensible. I know that Torino has already offered you €9m for a long time, an important figure, respectful of my value and your needs.
“But you don’t intend to negotiate with Torino, you repeat that it’s not enough, but you still don’t communicate to the Italian club what the right figure is, in your opinion.
“I’m worried: I will continue training with great seriousness, but it cannot go on like this.”
At West Ham, the winger has scored just one goal and added two assists in 31 games, though his Premier League minutes have been limited to just 551 under David Moyes.
Vlasic has previous history in England with Everton.
He left Goodison Park in 2019 for CSKA Moscow in a £14m transfer, having scored twice in 19 games for the Toffees.
Following their £105m sale of Declan Rice to Arsenal, SunSport revealed how the Hammers have seen a £40m bid for Joao Palhinha and a £25m bid for James Ward-Prowse rejected.
It was also reported earlier today that they saw a £20m offer for Harry Maguire turned down by Manchester United.
A bid of £40m for Conor Gallagher was rejected earlier this week.
