West Ham United desperately need to make more signings before the January transfer window closes.
However, there are more players being linked with the West Ham exit door late on in the January transfer window, rather than potential new signings, unfortunately.
West Ham will be busy during the final week of the January transfer window, with both incomings and outgoings expected.
Nuno Espirito Santo has a serious challenge on his hands, if he is to keep the Hammers in the Premier League this season.
How do you FEEL about West Ham signing Antonin Kinsky? 🧤 🇨🇿
A mistake? Or a masterstroke?
It’s clear to see that Nuno needs to add more quality and depth to his ranks before Monday’s transfer deadline.
However, there could be a scenario where the Hammers boss loses one of his most experienced players before the January window closes.
Two clubs eye January transfer window moves for West Ham player
The winter window is set to close in just five days’ time now.
The Hammers have made only two signings so far who will be regularly involved with the first-team, with Keiber Lamadrid being brought in with one eye on the future.
Meanwhile, numerous players have left for pastures new including Luis Guilherme, Niclas Fullkrug, Guido Rodriguez and Andy Irving.
In addition to those exits, Lucas Paqueta looks almost certain to leave West Ham before the January transfer window closes.
And now another Hammers stalwart is being tentatively linked with an exit from the London Stadium.
According to Football journalist Dean Jones, a couple of clubs have just made enquiries for Tomas Soucek.
Soucek, 30, is West Ham’s current longest serving player, having joined the club just a few days before Jarrod Bowen in January 2020.
Lukasz Fabianski has been with West Ham for eight years now but he technically left in the summer, before returning just two months later.
The Czech Republic international has made 267 appearances for the Hammers, contributing 44 goals and 13 assists (Transfermarkt).
He may not be everyone’s cup of tea but there is one thing about Soucek which should make him a West Ham legend.
West Ham cannot afford to sell Tomas Soucek
The 30-year-old always plays with 100 per cent commitment whenever he steps on the pitch for the Hammers.
Have your opinions of Mavropanos and Todibo CHANGED? 🧱 ❌
Do West Ham still need to sign a centre-back?
Soucek wears his heart on his sleeve and puts his body on the line for West Ham time and time again … literally.
He’s exactly the type of player the Hammers need amongst their ranks right now.
West Ham allowing Tomas Soucek to leave this late on in the January transfer window, while in the midst of a relegation battle, would be utter madness.
Sure, he’s not the most aesthetically pleasing of footballers, but there aren’t many Premier League players who possess his die-for-the-cause attitude.
The Hammers need to keep Soucek at all costs, until the summer at least.
