West Ham United defender Vladmir Coufal contract update emerges
West Ham will take up the option in Vladimir Coufal’s contract to trigger a one-year extension, according to Claret and Hugh.
The reliable Hammers news outlet reported on 17 November that despite reports claiming his London Stadium exit is likely, he will stay put at the club.
A top source has revealed that the contract is now almost ready to offer.
The report read: “Many sites have been claiming the player is set to leave but that is now looking highly unlikely following the news we received out of the club this afternoon. Our top source claimed that the option – which is for one year – is almost ready to offer and set to complete with the player.”
Good news
Coufal has proven to be indispensable for West Ham due to his exceptional defensive contributions and attacking versatility.
As a right-back, Coufal not only excels in traditional defensive duties, showcasing solid tackling and positional awareness, but he also actively participates in the team’s attacking endeavours.
His overlapping runs and accurate crosses provide a potent offensive dimension to West Ham’s play.
Coufal’s work rate and ability to cover ground effectively contribute to the team’s defensive solidity, while his offensive involvement adds an extra layer of threat.
His understanding of manager David Moyes’ system, which demands defensive discipline along with attacking support from full-backs, makes him a linchpin in the team’s tactical setup.
Last season, it seemed like his time at the club was reaching its end but he managed to silence his critics and deserves all the plaudits coming his way.
