West Ham are on the verge of allowing Nikola Vlasic to join Torino on loan for the season.
Vlasic joined the Hammers last season on a five-year deal but his stay at the London Stadium looks set to end after only 12 months in east London.
The former Everton and CSKA Moscow forward failed to find the back of the net on a consistent basis in his debut season at West Ham and is set to make the switch to Italy.

football.london understands that the deal is a season-long loan with an option to buy, thought to be in the region of €15million. His chances of regular first-team football were reduced over the summer with the arrival of Gianluca Scamacca from Sassuolo as well as Said Benhrama, Manuel Lanzini and Pablo Fornals still at the club.
Scamacca made his debut off the bench in the 2-0 defeat to Man City on Sunday, a game in which Vlasic failed to make the matchday squad and Armstrong Okoflex the preferred forward in his place.
Vlasic's only West Ham league goal came in the 4-1 victory over Watford last December, a 90th minute finish to round off a comfortable win.
