Would be a great addition either beside or as understudy for Rice (need another DM incase Rice misses games). We could still do with a B2B midfielder (or 2) though.#GSBOUT

He’s a very good player

would be very interested in this one, only 24 and already their captain, think he scored a great goal against Chelsea too

Do you think Tomas Soucek would make a good signing for West Ham United?Yes, looks like a superb prospectNo, he wouldn't cut it in the PL |
So far this term, Czech Republic-born man has featured in 26 games in all competitions for his Prague club, in which he has scored 12 goals and assisted three (as per Transfermarkt).
Along with his superb goal involvement return for a defensive midfielder, Soucek also has an average rating of 7.23/10 for the season so far (per WhoScored), which left many thinking a move was unlikely.
Exploring…… pondering…. are interested…. looking at…… whichever way you put it just sounds like they’re picking players at random to make us fans think something is happening

Not a chance

It won’t happen because they want relegation clauses and nobody is agreeing to them

What do we think?
To have 15 direct goal contributions from 26 games this season for his current club, while playing the majority of games as a defensive midfielder (as per Transfermarkt) is nothing short of incredible.
Coupled with his fantastic goals return, his average rating is also superb and would likely make a fantastic signing for the Hammers.
