The Hammers have forged an incredibly strong relationship with the Czech giants over the past 12 months or so.

West Ham boss David Moyes brought Tomas Soucek to the London Stadium on loan in January 2020. The 26-year-old’s move was turned into a permanent one in the summer and his former teammate Vladimir Coufal followed his best mate to East London shortly after.

It would make sense for the Hammers to bring more players from Slavia to the club over the course of the next year or so.

Claret and Hugh claims that Abdallah Sima, Jan Kuchta and Ondrej Kolar are all on West Ham’s radar.

West Ham chasing Slavia Prague players yet again

The trio will be scouted once again on Thursday night. Slavia Prague head to Ibrox to take on Rangers in the Europa League.

Centre-forward Kutcha, 24, has scored 13 goals in 25 games for Slavia this season (Transfermarkt).

Meanwhile, Sima, who can play anywhere along the front-line, has racked up 19 goals and five assists in 31 games (Transfermarkt).

And Kolar, Slavia’s number one goalkeeper, has conceded just 30 goals in 33 games this season, whilst keeping 16 clean sheets in the process (Transfermarkt).

All three players would be great additions for West Ham. Imagine if we had five former Slavia players next season!

Soucek and Coufal are already legends in the East End. And three of their former teammates could achieve hero status at West Ham as well.

Hopefully the Hammers board are prepared to back Moyes to the limit this summer. It appears as though we are on the cusp of achieving some real success. And the three mentioned Slavia Prague players would all help us massively on our quest to make real progress.
