Soucek and Coufal have had huge impacts at West Ham.

The 26-year-old midfielder joined the Hammers on loan in January 2020. His loan deal was then made permanent in July last year.

Just three months later, his best mate Coufal arrived at the London Stadium from Slavia Prague.

The Czech Republic internationals have a certain kind of winning mentality and die for the cause attitude that has helped transform West Ham from relegation fodder into contenders for the Champions League places.

They are both hugely popular amongst the West Ham fans.

And one of their international teammates is a big fan as well.

Alex Kral raves about Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal

The 22-year-old Spartak Moscow midfielder is a summer transfer target for West Ham (Russian football expert Artur Petrosyan and The Athletic).

It is claimed that Kral will cost just £12 million this summer (The Athletic). The West Ham fans are desperate for the Spartak Moscow starlet to be the next Czech import to rock up in East London.

So they will be delighted to see Kral praising Soucek and Coufal on Twitter:

Central midfield is undoubtedly an area where David Moyes will want to strengthen in the summer.

And Alex Kral would be a superb addition for West Ham.

In 23 league outings for Spartak Moscow this season, the 22-year-old has registered four assists and has averaged 1.4 tackles, 1.7 interceptions, 0.8 clearances and 0.7 dribbles per game. During those appearances, he has made 57.6 passes per match on average with a completion rate of 80.9% (Who Scored).

Kral began his career as a defender but he has evolved into a midfielder. He is apt at playing the holding role but he can perform central midfield box-to-box duties with aplomb as well.

He certainly seems like a huge talent. Let’s hope that agents Soucek and Coufal help get this one over the line for West Ham in the summer!
