Torino coach Ivan Juric admits he wants to keep Nikola Vlasic.
The midfielder is on-loan at Toro from West Ham.
Juric said, I prefer having as many players as possible with whom I've worked.
When you work with them for a year, they often tend to improve in the following season. The more players we confirm, the better."
A permanent deal will suit West Ham given they still owe 9m to CSKA Moscow for Vlasic's original transfer.
