Twist in Hlozek chase

West Ham have long been linked with a potential move to sign Adam Hlozek and it appears that the link has now resurfaced.

The young striker plays for Sparta Prague, the same club in which Daniel Kretinsky has a stake.

He has been in impressive form this season, too, scoring 11 goals and laying on 15 assists in 43 games in all competitions.

Hlozek is also capable of playing on the left wing or in attacking midfield and is also a Czech Republic international with 14 caps to his name, at the age of 19.

90min now reports that Kretinsky is willing to do a deal that would see the teenager move to the Hammers on loan in the summer, with the Irons undoubtedly at the front of the queue.

But the report also claims that manager David Moyes and head of recruitment Rob Newman are currently unwilling to sanction the move.

They want to wait until the end of the season before assessing transfer options but that could open the door for other clubs to swoop, with Juventus, Bayern Munich, and Borussia Dortmund all said to hold an interest in securing Hlozek’s signature.
