Nikola Vlasic described it as “a very special moment” but only wished his Everton debut came on a more positive afternoon for the Blues.The 19-year-old Croatian, signed from Hajduk Split on transfer deadline day, was introduced as an 80th-minute substitute in the 3-0 defeat to Tottenham Hotspur. And while Vlasic says entering the Goodison Park pitch wearing royal blue for the very first time is a moment that will live long in his memory, he could not hide his disappointment at the overall result. “There’s a lot of emotions,” Vlasic told evertontv. “It was a very special moment for me. I was happy when the crowd clapped me as I came on but on the other hand, I’m sad because we lost the game. “Tottenham were a very good. We knew their strengths but we conceded two goals in the first half and that is difficult to come back from. “We need to forget this game and look forward quickly now. We have many games coming up and the next one is only a few days away. We are all determined to be better in the future.” Everton FC |

Hopefully he will get a run and settle quickly.

Hopefully he will get a run and settle quickly. Love to see him and Lookman play on Thursday. Just ask them to stay up top and support the striker and put crosses in. |

Everton summer recruit Nikola Vlasic has opened up about adjusting to life playing in the Premier League after moving from Hajduk Split.
The 19-year-old joined the Toffees in a five-year-deal on the recent deadline day as Ronald Koeman’s last minute signing.
The teenager has had to adjust quickly to life in the English top flight and has made just one appearance in the competition so far after he featured in the club’s disappointing 3-0 defeat to Tottenham just over a week after moving.
Vlasic became an integral part of the squad at his former club and even captained Hajduk Split on a number of occasions, but has revealed that the English league is incomparable.
“I scored a lot of goals in Croatia but now I want to start scoring in the Premier League,” Vlasic explained, as quoted by the Liverpool Echo.
“It is the opportunity of a lifetime. I know how big Everton is.
“I started playing first-team football from a very young age, there were ups and downs but I’m very happy to be in this place and I am very thankful.
“I have played a lot of games but the Premier League is something else.”
