Is Tomas Soucek already the best defensive midfielder that the Hammers have at the club?Yes, he has been fantastic
No, good but not the best

The midfielder, who is on loan from Slavia Praha with an option to purchase for £13 million (as per BBC), has made just three appearances for West Ham before succumbing to injury (per Transfermarkt).
With the middleman having picked up an impressive 8/10 performance rating before having to leave the field through injury at Anfield on Monday night (per football.london), fans were left devastated that he will be missing for a number of weeks.

What do we think?
Despite only featuring in three games so far, Soucek’s average rating while with the Irons has been the fourth-best of any West Ham player in the Premier League this term, with a 6.96/10 average rating (per WhoScored).
As can be judged from the responses of many supporters, they are gutted about this one, and while the 24-year-old had only just arrived, it seems to be a big blow.
