Football Insider reports that West Ham is willing to consider offers this summer for Tomas Soucek. The 28-year-old midfielder has made 29 Premier League starts this season. Despite a challenging campaign with the Hammers, Tomas Soucek has remained a crucial part of David Moyes’ team.
West Ham is currently facing a standstill in the negotiations for a new contract between the team and Tomas Soucek’s agent. The team is considering using Tomas Soucek’s one-year contract extension option. To protect his value as his current deal is scheduled to end in 2024.
West Ham is anticipated to try to sell Soucek in the upcoming window. Even if the extension provision is used. With the Czech international scoring three goals and providing six assists this season. Soucek’s performance for the London club has fallen well short of his previous excellent standards.
Soucek scored and assisted in the thrilling 4-3 match against Crystal Palace on Saturday. But his 2022–23 season as a whole has been unimpressive.
Tomas Soucek Career With West Ham
The 28-year-old midfielder was loaned to West Ham from Slavia Prague in January 2020 before being acquired permanently five months later for about £15 million. The midfielder had a big influence throughout his first 18 months with the Hammers. On the other hand, during the past year or so, his form has drastically declined.
As a result, David Moyes has occasionally left him off the starting lineup, although Soucek seems pleased to be playing for the team. The Daily Mail reported that Tomas Soucek had planned to quit West Ham United. In the summer of 2022 after failing to secure a lucrative new deal.
However, Soucek has now stated that he is pleased at West Ham. Which is a complete turnaround from his feelings towards the club just a year ago. West Ham is anticipated to try to sell Soucek in a subsequent window, even if the extension of time option is activated.
Soucek’s performance for the London club has fallen well short of his previous excellent standards, although he still managed to contribute six assists and score three goals this season. With club captain Declan Rice expected to leave after turning down all contract offers from the team, the midfield for the Hammers could undergo a midfield makeover this summer.
Arsenal is now in the lead to sign Rice this summer, according to Football Insider sources. A big update on Aaron Cresswell’s West Ham future has been made in other news.
