West Ham United are tracking yet another Slavia Prague player with striker Jan Kuchta potentially set to join Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal in east London, as reported by the Express.
Is there a Slavia Prague player the Hammers haven’t been linked with?
According to reports, Abdallah Sima and goalkeeper Ondrej Kolar have been joined on David Moyes’ summer hit-list by a 24-year-old centre-forward who enjoyed the best season of his career by far in 2020/21.
In all competitions, Kuchta found the net 19 times – more than double his tally from the previous campaign.
And while 19-year-old speed-machine Sima is perhaps the most exciting member of Slavia’s squad, it’s easier to see where Kuchta fits into Moyes’ squad.
Kuchta could join Slavia contingent at West Ham
West Ham still haven’t filled a Sebastien Haller-shaped void in their front line and the 6ft former Czech Republic U21 international would represent a more natural option for the number nine role than the hard-running Michail Antonio.
The Express doesn’t make clear how much Slavia Prague would demand for Kuchta, however, or indeed how interested West Ham really are.
The report simply says the Hammers have been “watching” the former Slovan Liberec youngster.
Kuchta isn’t the only Czech talent on the club’s radar either.
