The Hammers’ need for a top class centre-forward has already been well-documented.

David Moyes will be desperate to bring at least two established strikers to the London Stadium this summer.

West Ham have been linked with a plethora of centre-forwards since Sebastien Haller left for Ajax in January.

And there is now another name to add to the list.

West Ham tracking Slavia Prague hitman

According to a report from The Express, the Hammers want to bring Slavia Prague striker Jan Kuchta to East London before the start of next season.

The 24-year-old was in fine form for Slavia this season, racking up 19 goals and nine assists in 40 games (Transfermarkt).

The powerful Czech ace is a hard-working striker and he seems to perfectly fit the mould of a David Moyes signing.

It is unclear as to whether Slavia Prague will be open to selling Kuchta this summer.

Slavia have proven in the past that they’re open to selling their top talents, however.

West Ham have had great success with signing players from the Czech giants in the past with Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal having enjoyed a fantastic time at the London Stadium so far.

Moyes is likely to dip into the Czech market again this summer.
