FIFA’s new rule allows on-loan Iron to break contract

West Ham are unlikely to stand in the way of Alex Kral finding a new club under a FIFA decision to allow players with Russian clubs to quit out on their contracts.

Kral will not feature for the Irons except in the most extreme scenarios and is at the bottom of David Moye’s midfield options.

The Czech’s parent club Spartak Moscow – along with every other Russian outfit  – learned today that all foreign players have a month’s window – under a Fifa decision – to find a new club.

Despite him being on loan to the Hammers, this will also allow Kral to move on and given the circumstances the Hammers will certainly allow him to do so should he get an offer that suits him.

Moyes’ opinion of the player became crystal clear when he decided to use Mark Noble as a sub ahead of him during the second half of the defeat at Liverpool.
