Hammers boss David Moyes has been linked with a move to bring the 20-year-old Slavia Prague ace to the London Stadium for quite some time now.

Eurosport, ExWHUemployee and the Mirror have all reported on West Ham’s interest in the pacy attacker.

The links seem to go cold for a month or so, however.

And now there has been a big update from a Hammers insider.

West Ham in talks to sign Sima

That’s according to insider westhamfans.org.

The 20-year-old would be a really exciting addition to Moyes’s ranks and he would provide more cover along the front-line.

It must be said that Sima isn’t an out and out centre-forward. He has mostly operated on the wing for Slavia Prague.

That isn’t to say that he doesn’t possesses the attributes needed to be converted into a central striker, however.

He enjoyed a fantastic campaign last season, with 20 goals and eight assists in 39 games to his name (Transfermarkt).

It is thought that the 20-year-old could be available for just £25 million this summer (The Mirror).

That sounds like great value to us considering his undoubted quality and potential.

Let’s just keep our fingers crossed that there is some truth to this one. It does seem like it could have legs. And with Sima’s former teammates Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal at West Ham, we surely have a good chance of signing the forward.
