Tomas Soucek is linked with a move to Juventus! How are West Ham fans reacting?

Since his transfer from Slavia to West Ham, Tomáš Souček has developed into one of manager David Moyes’ indispensable men. His successful performances have been watched by many big clubs, especially in the previous season, and this year is no different. The Czech national captain is reportedly being courted by Juventus! What do West Ham fans think?

Despite the fact that Tomáš Souček is playing a more defensive role at West Ham this season and not pushing forward as much, he has already scored 6 goals from the defensive midfielder position! He has scored five in the English Premier League and one in the Europa League.

The native of Havlíčkův Brod is in 7th place with the Hammers, which ensures participation in the ECL, but he also helped the team to the semi-finals of the Europa League. There, moreover, the final hope still dawns, but only in the case of West Ham’s success on the ground of Eintracht Frankfurt.

The Czech national captain has been giving stable performances for a long time and is valid both defensively and offensively. The prestigious site WhoScored rates Soucek with an above-standard mark of 7.01 in this season’s Premier League. Therefore, it’s no wonder that fading Juventus have started to covet him.

The Old Lady won’t win the Italian Serie A this season, but will play in the millionaire Champions League next season. Which could be an interesting attraction for Tomáš Souček.

West Ham could reportedly collect up to £40m (CZK 1.175bn) for the ex-Slav captain.

Reaction from West Ham fans

Some West Ham fans would immediately sell Tomas Soucek and replace him with Kalvin Phillips or even Glen Kamara. Others, however, know how important the burly midfielder is to them and would not sell him at any price.

“If we sell him, it will be a huge disaster. He is very important in corner kicks (offensive and defensive) and he gives his best every game.”

“I can’t believe some of the comments. We need him. We can’t replace him for £40 million.”

“I accept his passing and creativity could be better but he came into a team that wasn’t working. He runs and covers far more ground than other players in the Premier League. It’s our two best seasons since he arrived and that’s just the way it is. His commitment and self-sacrifice allows Rice to attack and play the ball.”
