Tomas Soucek is the second biggest marathoner in the Premier League! How much did he run?

Tomas Soucek has long been regarded as one of the greatest runners in the English top flight. His greatest strengths are his strength in the air and the fact that he can cover a huge area of the pitch. This season’s data only confirms it! How many runs has he run?

Tomas Soucek finished the 2021/22 season with West Ham just outside the Europa League final gates. In the Premier League, the Hammers were reaching for 6th place until the last round, which would have secured them participation in Europe’s second most prestigious competition once again.

In the end, however, David Moyes’ charges had to settle for 7th place, which will only send them into the Europa League Conference preliminary round. Still, it is another fine season for West Ham, with Czech national team players Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal also having a hand in it.

The burly midfielder has confirmed in the Premier League that he is an almost indispensable figure for the club. Although he didn’t have the numbers he had in the 2020/21 season, he still scored a respectable 5 goals and assisted one from his position as a defensive midfielder.

WhoScored rated the Czech national captain as the third best West Ham player of the past season. Only Jarrod Bowen and Declan Rice were ahead of him. Soucek has an average rating of 6.98 from the prestigious statistics server.

What about mileage? In this metric, Soucek is even the second best player in the entire Premier League. Only James Ward-Prowse (Southampton) was better, running 18 km more than the Czech midfielder.
