Vlasic signs

Encouraging start to deadline day with Nikola Vlasic signing from CSKA Moscow at a price of £26.8m plus a possible £7.7m in add-ons. He's one of Croatia's most promising attacking midfielders and scored against Scotland in the Euros. Nikola had a disappointing spell at Everton when he was 19 but was hampered by the sacking of Ronald Koeman and then not being selected by Sam Allardyce. He's done much better at CSKA Moscow and the bearded midfielder can certainly shoot looking at his YouTube showreel. This might scupper and move for Lingard but Moyes now has thechance to rotate Vlasic with Benrahma, Bowen and Fornals. Next step should be a striker by 11pm.
