CandH Exclusive: Soucek’s future update

CandH Exclusive by Hughie Southon

West Ham boss David Moyes has failed to  offer fresh talks with Tomas Soucek’s agents on a new deal for the player.

And we understand the defensive midfielder’s representatives are currently discussing a possible switch with clubs both here and abroad.

However, names of those involved are being kept closely guarded by his representatives in order not to inhibit their position.

Despite denying that the 27 year old will be leaving the Hammers, the manager has done nothing yet to take up the opportunity of offering him an extension.

The Hammers would be hoping for a fee of around £40 million for the defensive midfielder but we are told that so far this has proved too high for clubs interested in making an offer.

However the Hammers could expect to get back the £20 million they paid for the 27 year old and make a small profit.

But our source close to Soucek told us: “I’d say the only way he will be staying at the London Stadium is if terms can’t be agreed with another club!”
