The Czech Republic internationals have both proven to be outstanding success in East London.

What incredible additions by David Moyes.

Soucek and Coufal have helped West Ham reach an entirely new level this season.

They are absolute warriors. Their work-rate and commitment on the pitch is second to none.

The Athletic suggest that Hammers insiders have told them how the right-back and the central midfielder have raised the standards at the football club with regard to how hard everyone works both on and off the pitch.

The Czech pair’s exemplary standards helped transcend the way things work at the football club.

West Ham now seem like a team of winners. We are definitely going places under David Moyes. The Scot deserves huge credit, and rightly so.

Soucek and Coufal have been huge contributing factors behind our recent success as well, however.
