Claret and Hugh has claimed that the Hammers WILL permanently sign the Czech Republic ace in the summer if they avoid relegation this season.

Soucek has really impressed for West Ham since making his January switch to the London Stadium.

Signing him permanently will be crucial for West Ham, as they look to make progress next season.

But recent claims suggesting financial turmoil lying in wait for the Hammers has put the deal to sign Soucek into doubt.

ExWHUemployee has suggested that their shouldn’t be any problems, however, if West Ham avoid the drop:

If the Hammers do stay up, and sign Soucek for a total amounting to £17 million, it will be great news for the east London outfit.

The Czech is clearly a player who will flourish in the Premier League.

And that fee could end up looking like a real bargain for West Ham.
