Torino have opened talks with West Ham United about a permanent deal for Nikola Vlasic.

The midfielder moved to Toro this summer from the Irons on a season-long loan.

Toro president Urbano Cairo has already seen enough and is ready to deal in Vlasic.

La Stampa says talks over contract terms are now underway with the player's management.

Toro have also informed West Ham of their plans, with Vlasic's deal carrying a €15m option.
