|

West Ham Czech mates Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal have been quick to take credit for their part in the loan signing of their mate Alex Kral.

The potato salad king and Hammer of the year took to social media to announce Sports agent Soucek continues. Welcome to our club Alex Kral”

Coufal was quick to geet into thee action replying to Tomas and Alex on Twitter by saying “Just you ….seriously”

Kral saw the funny side by replying to his Czech international teammates “I didn’t know how many agents I actually have until now” 

Kral has joined on a season-long loan with the Hammers paying a £3m loan fee and having a £12m obligation to buy based on the number of appearances.

There are also another £5m of add-ons if a four-year permanent contract becomes activated.

Kral, Soucek and Coufal are away together on international duty with Czech Republic playing Belarus tomorrow night followed by Belgium next and Ukraine  Sunday and Ukraine next Wednesday evening. All three are due to start all three games.
