West Ham’s hopes of landing Spartak Moscow midfielder Alex Kral have been given a boost by the player.
The former Slavia Prague player was seen pictured with former team mates Tomas Soucek and Vlad Coufal before liking a tweet on his You Tube channel which declared ‘Welcome to West ham.’
The Irons are reportedly in talks to sign the midfielder in a deal expected to be at around £14 million.
He is an outstanding operator in the middle of the park where he can play an defensive or attacking role and could add the type of competition in the team we haven’t seen in many years.
There is definite interest in the player from the Hammers along with them looking hard in the direction of striker Abdallah Sima who was in great scoring form for the Slavia Prague last term.
Sky Sports first broke the news of the Kral interest from the Irons and then a picture of Kral with the two Hammers appeared and the speculation started to grow.
The club have a superb relationship with the Czech club of course but whether they will be able to tempt him from Russia for similar seemingly cut price to the curren Czechs at the club remains to be seen.
Yes please – Kral and Sima will do very nicely at the Stratford Czech Republic of their skill and work ethic match the other two – wow!!
I agree, if they are as humble and driven like Vlad and Tomas, we’ll be doing very well thanks
Would be a great addition in the middle. We cannot expect rice and soucek to start every game in all 4 competitions next season. Noble won’t be up to it either
