Transfer expert Pedro Almeida claims West Ham have approached Czech player Adam Hlozek in the past few days saying that contacts are ongoing.West Ham began scouting Hlozek last year according to 90min, but now face competition from Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, Juventus, Liverpool and RB Leipzig.
Sparta Prague previously valued Hlozek in the region of £26m but have been forced to lower their demands with the pandemic causing a shift in the financial situation ahead of the summer transfer market. The 18-year-old could cost around £20 million this summer according to 90 Min.
Hlozek has scored 11 goals and registered eight assists in 17 Fortuna Liga appearances this season, either side of a metatarsal fracture that kept the 18-year-old out of action for 14 games between November and February.
The 18-year-old has also been capped by the Czech Republic national team on a couple of occasions as well so it will already know Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal.
So happy if this is true and we can sign him. This is the type of signing that will bring us to the next level. With the players we have and 4 quality signings this summer we will be a serious team.
This would be a fantastic signing. The guy has everything. The next Haaland, or maybe better. Get Arnie back to partner him.
