Tomas Soucek has experienced nearly every single high and low while at West Ham United.

Signing as a relatively unknown midfielder, he has gone on to make a real name for himself at the London Stadium.

Not only for the Hammers, but in the Premier League as well.

Soucek reached 250 appearances for the Irons last season, but it would end in total disappointment.

West Ham were relegated from the Premier League on the final day of the season, despite beat Leeds 3-0.

Now, all eyes are on the likes of Soucek and if they will stick around for a Championship promotion push.

West Ham exits start at London Stadium

No headline exits have been confirmed yet, but the rumour mill is starting to head into overdrive.

Mateus Fernandes, Crysencio Summerville and Jarrod Bowen are the main three, but others, like Soucek could leave.

Before that, Nuno Espirito Santo has started his clearout, with Krisztyan Hegyi confirmed to be moving on.

Hegyi spent seven years at West Ham, but has now signed for Sparta Prague without ever making a senior appearance.

Moving to the Czech capital, it will bring obvious comparisons to Soucek, who joined from city rivals, Slavia Prague.

Writing on Instagram after the deal was confirmed, Hegyi shared an emotional farewell, touching on the Conference League win in his images.

Fans would notice that Soucek was among those to like it, with Ollie Scarles and Emerson Palmieri doing the same.

Tomas Soucek hints at West Ham stay in emotional relegation message on social media

Will Tomas Soucek remain at West Ham?

Many believe that it is entirely possible.

At 31-years-old, Soucek isn't exactly destined for a massive move in his career, so one last chance at some sort of success with West Ham could be a great motivator.

Look at Leeds, they were in the Championship for two years, but returned as champions last year and thrived.

This could be the reset that thousands of West Ham fans have called on for years, and with David Sullivan and Karren Brady stepping away, it feels like that is coming.

Soucek has been linked with David Moyes and Everton in recent months, but right now, it feels like another year at West Ham could be the stuff of dreams.

The Hammers will take him in with open arms again, and it's time to solidify that cult hero status that he so deservedly has picked up.
