Tomas Soucek could move from West Ham to Inter Milan according to an Italian report but it’s complete and utter rubbish for one obvious reason

Tomas Soucek apparently could leave West Ham United on a free transfer to join Inter Milan next summer.

Tomas Soucek was the second signing made by David Moyes during his second stint as manager of West Ham back in January 2020, after the Scot brought Darren Randolph to the London Stadium.

And Corriere dello Sport (print edition October 11th, page 11) are now claiming that Inter Milan want to sign Hammers midfielder Soucek, 28, on a free transfer next summer, but it’s absolute rubbish.

That’s because it was claimed by a top source inside the club earlier last month that Soucek has already agreed a new four-year deal at the London Stadium.

The Athletic also shared this information. So if Inter Milan want the former Slavia Prague star, they will have to pay West Ham a fee…

Whoever wrote the report for Corriere dello Sport has obviously failed to do their research it seems.

Soucek’s new deal will not expire until the summer of 2027.

And the Czech Republic international seems to have found a new lease of life since Declan Rice left to join Arsenal, with four goals to his name already this season.

So I highly doubt that Moyes will be open to selling him anyway.

The 28-year-old has reverted back to his former, more advanced role at the London Stadium this season.

Tomas Soucek is a real asset for West Ham when he’s on song, and it begs the question why on earth did Moyes move him to a more defensive role to accommodate Declan Rice over the past two campaigns?

What matters going forward now though is that the Czech midfielder maintains his fine form for the Hammers. He won’t be going anywhere net summer, and certainly not on a free transfer!
