David Moyes’s West Ham United will not sell Tomas Soucek amid reported interest from Antonio Conte’s Tottenham Hotspur, according to Sky Sports.
Sky Sports have reported that West Ham do not plan to sell Soucek in the summer transfer window.
The 27-year-old Czech Republic international defensive midfielder ‘remains an integral part of manager David Moyes’ plans moving forward’, according to the report.
Football London reported last month that Tottenham head coach Antonio Conte is a fan of the West Ham star.
Then earlier this month, The Express claimed that Tottenham are keen on signing Soucek, who is valued at £40 million by West Ham.
Tomas Soucek blow for Tottenham, encouraging for West Ham
In our view, Tomas Soucek staying at West Ham United is a boost for the Hammers, but it is a blow for Tottenham Hotspur.
The £67,308-a-week (Spotrac) defensive midfielder is a very good player who has done well for the Hammers.
The Czech Republic international has formed a strong partnership with Declan Rice in the middle of the park for West Ham, and that is a big reason why the Hammers have been so successful recently.
While Tottenham have a good midfield department, they could do with more depth in that area because they will be involved in the Champions League next season.
Soucek would have been a good signing for Spurs.
