West Ham United's deadline day signings Nikola Vlašić and Alex Král have confirmed their squad numbers!

Croatia international Vlašić will take the No11 shirt, while Czech Republic midfielder Král will wear No33.

Král, who joined the Hammers on loan with a view to a permanent move from Spartak Moscow on 31 August, previously wore the shirt both in the Russian capital and at his former club Slavia Prague - where he played alongside both Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coudal

A deep-lying midfielder with a strong work ethic and impressive reading of the game, Král has already made nearly 150 senior club appearances and earned over 20 caps for his country, including four appearances at UEFA Euro 2020.

Vlašić, meanwhile, arrived on five-year deal for an undisclosed fee from Russian Premier League club CSKA Moscow.

A teenage prodigy with Hajduk Split, Vlašić has already played more 250 senior matches, scored 33 goals and assisted 21 more for CSKA over the previous three seasons, and was named Russian Premier League Footballer of the Year in 2020.

A regular for Croatia, he has 26 senior caps and featured four times at the recent UEFA Euro 2020 finals, and will now continue his career at London Stadium after representing his country during the current international break.

The pair could wear their new shirt numbers for the first time when the Hammers head to Southampton on Saturday 11 September.
