Czech mate hints at West Ham desire

Alex Kral seems to have his heart set on joining West Ham if his social media behaviour is anything to go by.

Last night he liked a comment on Youtube that said ‘Welcome to West Ham’

This is not an individual act and he has liked a number of social media posts related to the Hammers in recent weeks.

Sky Sports recently confirmed that West Ham have made contact with Kral’s agent already regarding a potential £14 million summer transfer.

The 16-capped Czech Republic international wants to move to the London Stadium to link up with his countryman Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal.

In 29 league appearances, Kral has registered five assists and has averaged 1.5 tackles, 1.8 interceptions, 0.8 clearances and 0.8 dribbles per game. During those appearances, he has made 56 passes per match on average with a completion rate of 81%

The Czech Republic international began his career as a defender but he has evolved into a midfielder. He is apt at playing the holding role but he can perform central midfield box-to-box duties as well.
