West Ham reportedly set to sign Alex Kral from Spartak Moscow
West Ham are set to sign Alex Kral from Spartak Moscow on a season-long loan with an option to buy, according to RB Sport in Russia.
They claim that the Hammers will have an option to buy the Czech midfielder for 14million Euros [£12million] next summer.
The Irons were heavily linked with a move for Kral earlier in the window, but everything went a bit quiet, but it now appears as if David Moyes is going to get his man.
Good signing for the Hammers.
West Ham don’t have that many options in the centre of the park, and with Conor Coventry set to go out on loan, Kral could be the ideal addition for West Ham’s midfield [Football League World].
The 23-year-old knows Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal as well, so he should have no problems settling in.
This also means that Declan Rice and Soucek can be rested in some games either in the Europa League or in the Premier League.
So, now we wait and see what happens, but it does appear as if Moyes is about to get another major signing as the Irons look to end the transfer window in style.
They have already signed Kurt Zouma and Nikola Vlasic in the last week of the window, and it appears as if Kral will be the next addition.
