West Ham United reportedly could sell Tomas Soucek in the summer transfer window.

According to Claret and Hugh – a website with close links to David Sullivan, West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek could be moved on in the summer transfer window.

Soucek was brilliant for West Ham during his first 18 months with the club but regressed badly when Declan Rice was given more license to roam forward.

Hammers boss David Moyes might have to rethink how he uses the 28-year-old when Dec leaves the London Stadium.

Or maybe the Scot will decide just to move him on all together along with Rice…

West Ham reporter makes big Tomas Soucek claim

Soucek will be out of contract with West Ham in the summer of 2024, although the club do have the option of extending that deal by a further 12 months.

So with that in mind, now would be the right time to sell the Czech Republic international.

His form has been really poor over the past 12-18 months in all fairness.

The only thing I will say in his defence is that he is not suited one little bit to playing the deep-lying midfield role – something that he was forced into doing when Moyes moved Rice into a more advanced role.

That said, I still believe that West Ham boss Moyes should be looking to make a big upgrade on Tomas Soucek this summer.

If we are to make any kind of progress as a club over the next few years, the 6ft 4in midfielder cannot be starting in the middle of the park for us.

And judging by the latest claims, it seems as though Moyes could very well agree with that notion.
