Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur are now facing competition from Eddie Howe’s Newcastle United, Everton and Aston Villa for West Ham United defensive midfielder Tomas Soucek, according to The Sun.
The Sun have reported that Newcastle, Everton and Villa all want to sign Soucek from Premier League rivals West Ham in the summer transfer window.
The Czech Republic international defensive midfielder has been told by the Hammers that he will not get a pay-rise anytime soon.
West Ham could even sell Soucek for £30 million, according to The Sun.
Interest from Newcastle, Everton and Villa means competition for Tottenham in their quest to sign Soucek in the summer transfer window.
On May 3, The Express reported that Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte is a big fan of Soucek and wants to sign him for the North London club this summer.
Tottenham Hotspur or Newcastle for Tomas Soucek?
In our view, Newcastle United be a better option than Tottenham Hotspur for Tomas Soucek if he does leave West Ham United in the summer transfer window.
Now, of course, Tottenham will play in the UEFA Champions League next season and also have a world-class manager in Antonio Conte.
However, Spurs have already signed Yves Bissouma this summer, which means that Soucek would find it tough to play regularly.
Newcastle are starting their brand new project, and PIF are wealthy owners who would be able to pay Soucek what he wants.
