Tomas Soucek’s compatriot and national side skipper could be on his way to West Ham United ahead of the transfer window closing on Tuesday evening. The Czechia captain only joined Championship rivals Wolves this year after a loan spell and the midlands’ side’s fans are in uproar about losing a talented defender to (allegedly) their main promotion rivals. That’s according to Yahoosport: “Wolverhampton Wanderers fans are furious after it was revealed that Ladislav Krejci has been offered to West Ham United in the final days of the transfer window… However, when reports emerged that the Old Gold club have offered Krejci to West Ham, fans were in shock. The Hammers are seen as one of the club’s biggest promotion rivals this season after they were both relegated from the Premier League. Wolves fans demand that Ladislav Krejci is not sold to West Ham..” Fan social media comments then suggested, amongst some unprintable opinions- that “This would be madness – strengthening a direct rival”. As the Yahoo report concludes: “Many Wolves supporters have been hoping that Krejci stays at the club past the summer transfer window to help them seal an immediate return to the Premier League. However, fans also understand this would be a difficult task given the player’s quality and reputation.” The Hammers have apparently already held talks with the defender but the original report from ‘ExWHUEmployee’ didn’t go into detail about any agreement between the two clubs over the centre back’s prospective transfer south. More to come on this story we suspect in the next 72 hours ahead of the window closing.
