Sparta Prague are demanding £20 million for alleged West Ham target Adam Hlozek according to a report from 90 Min.
In other news…Report: West Ham have ‘reasonable’ chance of signing Enfield-born 22-year-old this month
Hammers boss David Moyes wants to bring the 18-year-old hitman to the London Stadium according to a report from insiders Claret and Hugh.
West Ham desperately need to sign a new striker now, having sold Sebastien Haller to Ajax for £20 million (Goal).
If the Hammers are to maintain their fine start to the season, it will be vital for the board to back Moyes in the transfer market.
It seems as though West Ham will have to spend big to secure one of their alleged prime targets, however.
90 Min claims that Sparta Prague will not accept anything less than £20 million for Adam Hlozek.
Tomas Soucek has recomendad the 18-year-old forward to West Ham (Claret and Hugh) by suggesting that he is as good as any striker in Europe. That’s quite the praise from agent 0028!
West Ham in for Adam Hlozek but he won’t come cheap
The Czech starlet has been in superb form over the past couple of seasons, racking up 17 goals and 18 assists in 69 games for Sparta Prague (Transfermarkt). That is a truly remarkable return for someone so young.
Hlozek has scored four goals in seven games for Sparta this term.
The teenager has been out injured for some time, however, and is not due to return until March (Claret and Hugh).
The 18-year-old has so much talent. He possess incredible movement, pace and is clearly hungry with plenty to prove.
Adam Hlozek would be an exceptional addition for West Ham, albeit an unproven one. £20 million does seem to be rather excessive, however. Perhaps if we could haggle that fee down closer to £10-15 million, there is a fair chance that the Hammers will sign the Czech ace this month.
