Slavia Prague striker Abdallah Sima has his heart set on a summer move to the Premier League with Arsenal and West Ham United interested, as reported by the Standard.
Buoyed by the impressive impact both Vladimir Coufal and Tomas Soucek have made at the London Stadium, David Moyes’ Hammers could be about to return to a familiar hunting ground this summer.
Soucek himself admitted back in December that West Ham were keeping tabs on the exciting Slavia Prague front man. At the time, however, he suggested that a move to the Premier League was a ‘long way off’ for Sima.
Well, perhaps not.
With the so-called ‘new Thierry Henry’ scoring 19 times during a stunning debut season at the Czech champions – including a brilliant long-range effort against Leicester City in the Europa League – Sima is ready to fly the Slavia nest after less than 12 months at the Sinobo Stadium.
The Standard reports that Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain are interested.
Sima, however, is allegedly holding out for a move to England with Arsenal joining West Ham in the race for the sought-after Senegal international.
It is anticipated, however, that the Red and Whites will actually accept a much lower bid for a silky, speedy striker who can also play out wide.
Former Arsenal goalkeeper Petr Cech is a big fan of Sima, with the teenager under consideration to replace the exit-linked Alexandre Lacazette at the Emirates.
