West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek has been one of our better performers this season.
Tomas Soucek is incredibly reliable at both ends of the pitch, and has surprised many by becoming a permanent fixture in the West Ham team under Graham Potter.
Many believed that his lack of technical ability with the ball at his feet would mean that he was made somewhat redundant in a Graham Potter side.
However, that hasn’t turned out to be the case at all. Soucek is a key figure at the London Stadium, with his uncanny knack of scoring important goals at crucial stages during games.
Earlier this season, West Ham’s Tomas Soucek equalled a Premier League record, by becoming only the second player to score on two separate birthdays.
West Ham have an easy Tomas Soucek decision to make
The Czech Republic international still faces an incredibly uncertain future with the Hammers.
Everton are keen to sign Tomas Soucek from West Ham this summer, with David Moyes desperate to link up with his former player.
Meanwhile, it has been claimed that Soucek is being offered a £120k-a-week salary from an unnamed Premier League club in order to join them this summer.
However, Potter has to keep the 30-year-old midfielder at the London Stadium.
He’s a leader of men, and always pops up when we need him most. Now he has proven just how crucial he is to his country, as well as the Hammers.
Incredible Tomas Soucek revelation emerges
Soucek captained his country to wins over the Faroe Islands and Gibraltar during the international break.
The Czech Republic are now in pole position to qualify for the 2026 World Cup, by sitting pretty at the top of Group L with six points from two games.
Tomas Soucek proved just how important he is for his country by absolutely dominating one statistic.
During the international break, Soucek has won more aerial duels during the 2026 UEFA World Cup qualifiers than any other player.
And it’s not even close. The 30-year-old currently sits on 21 whilst second place is Marten Kuusk of Estonia with 10 (FBREF)!
Keeping Tomas Soucek at West Ham should be a no-brainer for Graham Potter this summer.
