West Ham United are exploring a potential January transfer for Sparta Prague striker Adam Hlozek to improve David Moyes’ frontline, per 90min, delighting some fans on social media.
The Hammers want to bring the Czech forward to the London Stadium on loan in the mid-season market. Any deal for the 19-year-old would also feature an obligation to buy for the next summer window, dependent on Hlozek fulfilling certain performance-related clauses.
Irons chiefs have monitored his development for the past year and considered a move this summer. But while no deal materialised at the time, club staff remain fans of his potential.
Hlozek also feels he is ready to leave Sparta Prague, as West Ham ready a bid for a January transfer. But he has caught Juventus, Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund’s eye, as well.
West Ham are keen to secure Hlozek’s services on a loan transfer so Moyes has funds for a centre-back, too. As Angelo Ogbonna’s injury has forced the Irons to redirect their plans.
The 12-cap Czech forward has enjoyed a strong start to the term with four goals and eight assists. Each of his goals and seven assists have come in 13 Fortuna Liga games so far.
He also scored 15 and assisted nine goals in just 19 Fortuna Liga outings last season after missing 14 games with a metatarsal fracture. He has only missed one game so far this term.
West Ham fans react to interest in transfer for Sparta Prague star Hlozek
Reports West Ham are preparing to make Sparta Prague an offer for Hlozek in the January transfer window have delighted some Irons fans, who have been reacting on social media.

Some also prefer Hlozek to other names that West Ham are considering ahead of the mid-season transfer window. Such as Torino star Andrea Belotti, who Eurosport note the Irons doubt will consider the club as a priority destination with his contract expiring next June.
