West Ham transfer target Adam Hlozek was on fire for Sparta Prague today scoring four goals in 23 minutes of the first half on Saturday afternoon.
The 18-year-old is up for grabs for around £20 million this summer it has been claimed.
Sparta Prague finished the season with a 6-1 win over Brno to finish runners-up in the domestic League behind Slavia Prague who won the league.
Hlozek scored 15 goals this season from twenty appearances in the Czech top-flight league.
It was the teenager’s second hattrick of the season after completing a similar feat in April against Opava.
The young forward is seen as a bit of a gamble but I am sure Soucek and Coufal who play with him in the Czech National team will be submitting glowing reports to David Moyes. They are due to join up with him in the Czech Republic training camp for the Euros.
Tomas Soucek shares the same agent as the youngster which could see the potato salad king turn from scout to intermediary or agent.
Exactly what is the gamble, look at his stats at 18 years old !! Its a no brainer – the boy is a genius and we have been too slow to get this deal done. I really hope that Coufal and Soucek do their stuff and convince him to join us. This lad will be worth 100m in 2 years time.
what a player, he is just amazing, the best striker we will sign in this window, PLEASE get him in, gsb put 35 mill max on striker bid, moyes could get 2 for that, and they will take us into 2032 season, its a no brainer.
Hložek & Daka😍
I’ve been banging on about this but I’d be happy for a punt on Clarke-Harris from Peterborough, 26 now but he has bested Toney’s Posh record & Fry said he will have to sell. So £5-8m on him if be all for could be our Vardy.
Think like Brentford any these 3 do decent & value rises & Hložek & Daka hit 10-15 they are £50m players.
Much prefer this ‘gamble’ than Oli McBurnie FFS
Spot on Alan! ..
Get this done a.s.a.p. After the Euros because his value will soar,
That’s problem Paul he’s not a striker but another winger….just stats are good but we need an out and out striker.
Henry started out as a winger at Juve. Didn’t do Arsenal any harm
Agree Saul & Hložek has lead the line a number of times more then Sima I believe who is our number one tgt supposedly now. A Slavoa player is prefer to Sima is Kutcha he is out & out & never stops running pressing create goals from nothing. But Hložek is a gem & one of those who can play anywhere yes he has played wing but also CF a lot in 4231 & #10/SS also played #8 in a 33331 form type. He has the build tall strong atheletic good in air, good with both feet, knack in the box, pick a pass. Really we should get him and another striker even if it’s a punt on someone’s like Clarke-Harris at Posh who bettered Toney’s record with 31 goals he is 26 but Antonio build much mor clinical. £5-8m & £20m for Hložek! Yes please I Daka. An out & out CF & versatile one would be perfect be Antonio can play wing too & then we don’t need to buy wingers bc Hložek can play there or Daka. Those two would be Amazing but I’m all for a punt on EFL late bloomer.
Hložek think would suit us more then Sima & you take about RB & value rising, look at Souček & Coufal’s value since move, Hložek’s does just decent & he would be £40-50m plus easy.
In all the times I’ve bothered to read the comments on this website this must be the first time I’ve agreed with anything posted by Johnham, which might mean I’m wrong about hlozek but to me he looks the business.
Ditto Will.
Grab him with both hands if we can – he is sensational at 18 scoring like that at a very decent level. That’s not a gamble it’s an investment.
Hlozek should be our number one target, he has got everything in his game, with his work rate and attitude he has the potential to become world class.
Not really DM’s preferred player. 18 y/o 20mill? A bit of a gamble? Maybe if we get 2 and he won’t be no.1
