Tottenham Hotspur are keeping a close eye on West Ham United star Tomas Soucek
According to Claret & Hugh (h/t Burnley Express), The talks between West Ham and Tomas Soucek are closely followed by Tottenham Hotspur.
The 27-year-old has become a crucial member of the West Ham squad after switching from Slavia Prague in 2020. So far, the defensive midfielder has made 48 appearances across all competitions in this campaign, scoring six goals and assisting one more.
Soucek’s exceptional performances haven’t gone unnoticed by the Tottenham board. It is believed that the Spurs are closely watching the pre-planned end of season talks between the Czech star and the Hammers in search of a suitable opportunity.
Do Tottenham need Tomas Soucek?
Soucek has formed a highly effective partnership with Declan Rice in the West Ham midfield. The midfielder comes with a lot of experience, having played with top-tier Czech teams during his career. Capable of reading the game and dictating productive plays, the 27-year-old could make an excellent addition to the Spurs midfield.
Tottenham let Tanguy Ndombélé join Olympique Lyon on loan in the winter transfer window. Even though Rodrigo Bentancur arrived from Juventus, there is still a lack of depth in the Spurs squad, which has been felt keenly after the injury to Oliver Skipp.
Despite not proving to be very convincing spells from the holding midfield spot, Harry Winks has become the preferred midfield partner for Pierre-Emile Höjbjerg, due to the club’s lack of choice.
Along with solving Tottenham’s depth problems, Soucek can help Spurs’ regular midfielders manage their workload effectively. During his term at West Ham, he has shown that he can be trusted with a pivotal role at the highest level.
