Two Hajduk's first team players Andrija Balic and Nikola Vlasic are listed among top 50 greatest football talents in the world by esteemed specialized football website Goal.com.
Goal.com listed the players born after January 20, 1997 and there are three Croatians on the list.
Apart from Andrija Balic (born August 11, 1997) and Nikola Vlasic (born October 04, 1997) there is also a player of GNK Dinamo Ante Coric.
Goal.com presented Hajduk's young first team players in the following way:
19th ANDRIJA BALIC | Croatia & Hajduk Split | 1997 |
"At just 18, this precocious, impudent, long-haired playmaker is the man that makes Hajduk Split's midfield tick. Balic is already being courted by half of Europe, with Juventus, Udinese, Stuttgart and West Ham all particularly keen on acquiring the Croat."
34th NIKOLA VLASIC | Croatia & Hajduk Split | 1997 |
"Vlasic is one of Hajduk's most prized possessions. Intelligent and versatile, he can play in nearly any role in attack - on the wing, as a trequartista or a 'false nine' - and is more suited to creating rather than scoring goals. With an explosive turn of pace and short, powerful legs, he has already drawn comparisons with Xherdan Shaqiri".
