According to 90min, West Ham are interested in signing Adam Hložek, while Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund are also keen.
The report added that West Ham’s interest in Hložek is mutual, with the 18-year-old also keen on a switch to the London Stadium.
Why?
Well, 90min believe the teenager is attracted to West Ham as he feels he’ll get more playing time in east London, compared to a move to one of the German giants.
Hložek finished the season on fire
After Hložek’s efforts earlier today, David Moyes will surely be scrambling around looking for his chequebook.
In Sparta Prague’s final game of the Gambrinus League season, the 2-cap Czech Republic international amazingly scored four goals in the 6-1 win over FC Zbrojovka Brno.
Impressively, that saw him finish as top scorer – well, joint-top scorer – alongside Jan Kuchta with 15 goals to his name.
However, Hložek scored his 15 goals in just 19 games, whereas Kuchta needed 27 games to achieve the feat.
In some leagues, if two players are tied for goals, the award actually goes to the man who appeared in fewer games, so we’ll call him top scorer!
That is a mighty fine achievement for a player as young as the West Ham target.
In our view, the Irons should get to work on bringing Hložek to the Premier League – the striker seems to be a complete and utter gem.
Hopefully, he wouldn’t be fazed by moving to a new country at such a young age, as his international teammates Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal are already at West Ham and could help him settle in.
If West Ham don’t sign him now, they might live to regret it.
In our view, more European giants will soon join Bayern Munich in wanting Hložek if he keeps this form up – West Ham must act quickly.
