Russia Football News claimed this morning that the Hammers were close to signing Kral on loan with an option to buy.
And now it seems as though a deal to bring the Czech Republic international to the London Stadium is inching ever closer to completion.
Bringing in another central midfielder will be a wise move from David Moyes.
Conor Coventry looks set to join Peterborough on loan whilst Mark Noble just isn’t good enough for elite level football anymore.
Meanwhile, Manuel Lanzini isn’t a specialist CM. So signing Kral on loan certainly makes sense.
West Ham Kral signing 90% done
The Telegraph claims that the Hammers are very close to getting a deal done for the Czech ace.
That really is great news.
Despite his struggles at the Euros, Kral is still a truly top class talent.
The 23-year-old began his career as a defender but he has evolved into a midfielder. He is apt at playing the holding role but he can perform central midfield box-to-box duties with aplomb as well.
He really is an all-action midfielder and will definitely provide strong competition and cover for Declan Rice and Tomas Soucek.
