Mario Pasalic, 18-year-old midfielder from Hajduk Split.
From numerous sources was all set to join Lazio (as a Hernanes replacement - who was set to join Inter, and still might as negotiations are in progress). Talks broke down tonight and tomorrow morning a delegation is heading to England. Initially it was reported that Chelsea were the club in question, but now there is talk that other clubs may be involved as well. The Daily Mail and a few others have now mentioned Tottenham as one of those clubs.
Don't have the time to go into a long description of him as a player, but he is "young Lampard" type. Good, promising young central midfielder. Has that knack of jumping into the attacking play at the right time and finds himself in good goal scoring opportunities. He's going on the cheap as Hajduk need to sell, but he's a player with a good future. Good head on his shoulders as well. Refused a move to Serie A this summer even though the club urged him to go (again, as they needed the money). Now he's worth even more and has been giving them benefits on the field as well (scored a brace against rivals Dinamo Zagreb to boot).
