Croatia midfielder Nikola Vlasic has paid tribute to Torino fans while away at the World Cup.

The midfielder is on-loan at Torino from West Ham.

"I want to share this joy with Torino fans, they are amazing," Vlasic told Gazzetta.

“They've been supporting me since day one and everyone asks me to stay for a long time. I am very happy here and we'll see what happens at the end of the season."

Croatia will face Brazil in the quarter-finals on Friday.

“We want to get as far as possible, Brazil have a fantastic team, they have two teams, but we can play on par with anyone," added Vlasic.
