Nikola Vlasic’s playing style explained – and how he will impact Everton
By Oliver Young-Myles
31st Aug 2017
Everton have had an extremely busy summer with Ronald Koeman as Nikola Vlasic becomes the ninth summer signing.[/paste:font]
A fee of just over £9m has been agreed with Hajduk Split for their 19-year-old winger Nikola Vlasic who played in both legs of the Europa League qualifying matches between the two clubs this month.
Koeman has been looking to sign a wide player all summer with Yannick Bolasie sidelined through injury and Kevin Mirallas seemingly on his way out of the club with a return to Olympiacos mooted.
Vlasic started on the right-wing in both of Hajduk’s games against Everton but is an extremely versatile player who can operate in various attacking midfield and forward positions – he has played as a second striker and a No.9 as well for his club.
Defeat against Premier League champions Chelsea aside, Everton have made a strong start to the campaign and one of Croatia’s most highly-rated young players adds to the feel-good factor at Goodison Park.
Here is everything you need to know about the Toffees signing.
Background
It was perhaps inevitable that a career in sport would await Vlasic given the genes he inherited.
His father Josko was a decathlete who represented Yugoslavia and after retiring he turned to coaching with his daughter Blanka (14 years Nikola’s senior) going on to become a world champion high jumper.
Given his father’s background in one of the most physically demanding sporting pursuits out there, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that Nikola is a physical specimen, particularly as his father has been training him since he was four years old.
Rather than follow his father and older sister into athletics, Vlasic instead channeled his energy into football and from a young age, he has appeared destined to make it as a professional.
Born in Split, Vlasic joined the cities major club Hajduk in 2010 aged 12 and regularly played above his age group for both club and country, featuring for Croatia’s U17 side when he was still only 13.
His career so far
After four outstanding years in Hajduk’s youth teams, Vlasic was promoted to the first-team ahead of the 2014/15 campaign and he marked his professional debut for the club with a goal in a 2-0 away win over Irish side Dundalk in the Europa League.
In doing so, Vlasic became the youngest goalscorer for Hajduk in international competitions, aged 16 years and 286 days and in April this year, he broke another record, becoming the youngest player to rack up a century of appearances for the club aged 19 years and 186 days.
Since making his professional debut as a fresh-faced 16-year-old, Vlasic has been a regular fixture in the Hajduk side and of the club’s most trusted and important players, even captaining the side.
In total, Vlasic has made 119 competitive appearances for the club which equates to over 35 matches per season, scoring 12 goals and registering 20 assists, predominantly from an attacking right-sided position.
Vlasic’s form and potential for Hajduk have resulted in him being a constant presence in Croatia’s youth teams, but he made the step-up into senior international football in May by debuting against Mexico, although he is back with the U21s this international break.
What will he bring to the side?
Blessed with excellent technical skill, Vlasic’s durability, strength and stamina are qualities that would stand him in good stead in the physically demanding world of the Premier League.
A feature of Vlasic’s game is that he hunts the ball intensely when the other team is in possession, chasing down his opponents in a bid to win the ball back.
Although he is a bulldozer type winger, Vlasic is technically good, excelling in one-on-one duels and having a Luka Modric-esque ability to wriggle himself out of tight situations.
While predominantly right-footed, Vlasic is strong on his left too and is comfortable using his weaker foot when the situation requires him to do so, which helps to give his game an element of unpredictability.
Vlasic caught Ronald Koeman’s eye in Everton’s Europa League double header against Hajduk Split.
While he tends to play out wide, Vlasic has a great football brain that enables him to regularly make the right decision which is encouraging given his age. In many ways, he is a playmaker who lines up on the flanks and it wouldn’t be a surprise to see him evolve as a No.10 in the future.
Vlasic is a hard-working, versatile and clever footballer but Koeman will be hoping that he can become more consistent with his end product, particularly when it comes to scoring goals, while he doesn’t possess the lightning speed associated with most Premier League wingers.
But Vlasic has all the tools at his disposal to become an extremely effective performer in the Premier League and at just under £9m (excluding potential add-ons) he could prove, in time, to be a bargain for the upwardly mobile Toffees.

After going years without having a decent player for the no. 10 role we've now bought 4 in one transfer window. Typical!

No idea if he's actually good or not, but he looks like exactly the kind of player I've wanted us to sign for years so I'm going to assume he will go on to be the best player at the club and win countless individual awards and give them all to me as a token of appreciation.

Tonci Kokan thinks Everton fans should be very excited: “As a Hajduk Split fan, I’m really sad to see Vlasic leave. If I were an Everton fan, I’d be really excited. He’s a great prospect, better then Modric and Rakitic at that age.”

Another good roll of the dice at the quoted price.
Hardly the player's fault that he doesn't fill the gaping hole at the top of the top of the formation.
End of the day, that's on the board, not the deadline signing.

All the fume has made people forget we signed this guy. Think he's going to be quality for us myself.
Proper feel sorry for the lad. Gets his big move to England and his arrival met by a bunch of meffs raging like petulant children about not getting what they wanted and demanded.
