West Ham United already have two Czech stars at the club, but they’re now pushing for a third.
Tomas Soucek has excelled with the Hammers since arriving on loan from Slavia Prague in January 2020, turning his move permanent just a few months later.
Soucek did so well that West Ham returned to the Czech market, signing right back Vladimir Coufal from Slavia too.
The pair – branded Czech mates – are fan favourites at West Ham, and they could be joined by another Czech international in a £14m move.
Sky Sports reported on Tuesday that West Ham have held talks over a move for Spartak Moscow midfielder Alex Kral in an attempt to reunite him with Coufal and Soucek.
Not only do they play together for the Czech Republic, but also did with Slavia, and Kral would offer ideal depth in midfield alongside Declan Rice and Soucek.
On Saturday, Slavia welcomed former players back to celebrate their title and unbeaten season, with Soucek and Coufal in attendance.
One picture has emerged of Kral – also invited back – being spotted stood in between Soucek and Coufal at the Slavia game.
Some will believe that this is a pre-cursor to them joining forces at West Ham next season, with the subject surely coming up as they spent time together on Saturday.
