West Ham United defender Vladimir Coufal is allegedly wanted by numerous Premier League clubs.

According to a report from the Mirror (print edition April 28th, page), West Ham right-back Vladimir Coufal is a transfer target for three Premier League clubs ahead of the summer transfer window.

Initially, he looked like an unbelievable signing for the Hammers. However, his form has dipped over the past 18 months, despite a brief renaissance since the start of this month.

And it seems as though the Czech Republic international could leave the London Stadium this summer…

Vladimir Coufal linked with three Premier League clubs

The 30-year-old’s current contract with the Hammers is due to expire in the summer, although the club do have the option to extend that deal by a further two years.

According to the Mirror, no contract extension talks have yet taken place, and there are three Premier League clubs chasing his signature.

I feel like we should keep Coufal at least two more years. He is a very solid player and we need some kind of squad depth after all.

The 30-year-old is one of the few Hammers players who really care, and he always gives 100 per cent every time he puts on the West Ham shirt.

Having said all of that, if West Ham are offered decent money for Vladimir Coufal, I really wouldn’t be surprised one little bit if he is moved on this summer.
