West Ham fans have taken to Twitter to react after Alex Král liked one of the club’s tweets, amid talk of the Irons speaking to his representatives.
According to Sky Sports, the Hammers have made contact with the 23-year-old’s agency K2K, who also represent Vladimír Coufal.
Four other Premier League teams are also in the race for the 16-cap Czech Republic international.
Amid the rumours, some fans noticed Král like West Ham’s tweet from May 23rd, showing Declan Rice and Jesse Lingard celebrating.
Now, this could seem insignificant to some, although it’s an interesting enough development to have sparked a reaction from the fanbase.
In our view, West Ham have the upper hand over the other Premier League clubs who are chasing Král.
Why? Well, the defensive midfielder is an international teammate of Tomáš Souček and Coufal.
The £14 million target also admitted that he stays in touch with Souček, so perhaps he might be convinced to move to east London.
Scrolling even further down his likes, we can see that Král has liked many a tweet from West Ham involving Coufal or Souček.
That is what makes the one involving Rice and Lingard interesting, as it seems to be the first which doesn’t include his fellow countrymen.
Let’s see what the West Ham fans on Twitter have been saying after noticing what Král did…
