Newcastle, Everton and Aston Villa all allegedly want to sign Tomas Soucek from West Ham United this summer.
That’s according to a report from The Sun who claim that the Hammers midfielder could be sold to Newcastle, Everton or Aston Villa for around £30 million in the summer transfer window.

Claret and Hugh claimed earlier this week that Soucek could be sold after new contract talks were put on hold by the club.
The 27-year-old joined West Ham originally on loan in January 2020 and made his move to the London Stadium a permanent one for around £15 million just six months later (The Daily Mail).
The 6ft 4in Hammers ace was absolutely brilliant during his first 18 months with the club.
He bagged 10 Premier League goals in his first full Premier League season for West Ham but his form deteriorated last term.
He was asked to play a new role by David Moyes though. Soucek’s worst attribute is his passing ability and the way in which he slows down our transition. So it’s baffling that he has been asked to play the so-called ‘anchor role’ for West Ham this term. It just doesn’t make sense.
And now it seems as though big Tomas is attracting interest from a few Premier League clubs…
West Ham ace Tomas Soucek a target for Premier League trio
The 27-year-old midfielder is wanted by Newcastle, Everton and Aston Villa according to a report from The Sun.
Selling the former Slavia Prague midfielder could be a big mistake from the Hammers, especially if he joins a Premier League rival.
Unless David Moyes has a huge upgrade lined up of course.
We would love to see Soucek stay at West Ham and for Moyes to play him in his correct position next season.
The Scot needs to give the 27-year-old the chance to prove that he still has what it takes to make a difference for this Hammers team.
It’s also worth noting that when the 27-year-old didn’t play last season and the season before, how much more vulnerable we looked when defending set-pieces.
We truly believe that the Czech ace still has a lot to offer at the London Stadium.
And if West Ham sell Soucek to Newcastle, Everton or Aston Villa, it could end up being a massive mistake from the East London club.
