Tomas Soucek has confirmed he has been acting as a scout for West Ham coaches interested in Slavia Prague players.
Soucek said: “The communication from coaches at West Ham is very good. They ask me about the boys from the Czech national team, they ask about the players in Slavia. I exchange a few names that I think would be interesting to West Ham.”
West Ham are claimed to be interested in up to Slavia Prague players: – Ondrej Kolar – Goalkeeper – Abdullah Sima – Forward – Jan Boril – Left-back
Slavia Prague’s chairman insisted that Abdallah Sima could be available next summer, but not in January.
Alex Král is another Czech footballer who plays as a defensive midfielder for Russian Premier League club Spartak Moscow who is well known to Soucek and is hotly tipped by the Hammer.
Soucek joined on loan last season for a loan fee of £4m with an additional £15m this summer to make the deal permanent.
His Czech mate Vladimir Coufal joined over the summer for £5.5m after a strong recommendation from Tomas.
Farehammer you cannot drive forward only looking in the wing mirrors. We are in a much happier place than last year and have a fair chance of top 8 finish. Salaries paid and commitment shown as well as talent displayed are not directly connected eg Anderson, Haller and Yarmalenko. Lanzini, Coufal and Soucek signed for much lower fees but won the fans over. COYI
So because we got lucky with 2 decent players .It doesn’t mean the whole squad is brimming with talent.Hardly prime Barca.Of course the mob who own us want to sign player on 28 000 quid per weekThats wages they have always paid !What have they gained from it ?FOUR relegations on their CV.Of course you won’t publish this.Believe you me January is going to be a interesting month.😂😂😂😂
A little bit of English hubris? Since 1966, the Czech (+/-) team has done as well in World Cup as we have, and even if we could afford the whole English squad, half wouldn’t want to come. Be a little charitable, the Czechs have brought us more, for less, than many of our current national players.
Take a pill.
