One key player for West Ham United over the past few years could be set to leave the London Stadium in the summer transfer window.
West Ham boss Julen Lopetegui faces an absolutely vital summer transfer window, and a lot of business needs to be done, if he is to get us back inside the top seven.
The Hammers boss is thought to be lining up an extremely exciting double deal for Max Kilman and Jonathan David.
Whether West Ham manage to get ambitious deals like those two over the line remains to be seen.
However, in order to generate the funds needed to make a proper assault on the summer transfer window, Lopetegui needs to let some fringe players go.
Perhaps some first-team regulars will need to be sacrificed as well.
And one man is being hotly tipped to leave the London Stadium after nearly four years with the club.
Club trying for summer transfer window deal for West Ham man
Lopetegui will clearly be trying to move some players on this summer, in order to supplement his £90 million budget this summer.
Numerous players are being linked with a London Stadium exit, as Lopetegui eyes a big summer rebuild.
There are plenty of players at the club right now who didn’t contribute enough last season, and they definitely can be upgraded on.
However, the latest name to be linked with an exit has been an extremely consistent performer for us over the past few years.
It has been reported that West Ham could sell Coufal for £6 million (Football Insider), and let’s be honest, if we get anything like that it would be good business for us.
The 31-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from the London Stadium, with the likes of Raoul Bellanova being mooted as a potential replacement for him.
Coufal has actually been directly linked with a move to Galatasaray already this summer, so this one may have some legs.
Back in January, the Hammers exercised a one-year extension option in the Czech Republic international’s contract – something that the player was said to be unhappy about because he thought he deserved a pay-rise.
The former Slavia Prague man has regressed over the past year or so. He doesn’t have the pace or power needed to play for a top 10 Premier League team in my opinion.
Vladimir Coufal has been a very good player for the Hammers over the past three-and-a-half years, but his time at the London Stadium is done now in my view.
If West Ham manage to sell him for £6 million in the summer transfer window, I’ll be more than happy.
