West Ham United have been trying to tie Czech midfielder Tomas Soucek to a new contract, but talks have now stalled.
A report from Football Insider has claimed that West Ham United have been hoping to agree on a new deal with Tomas Soucek. But contract talks with the 28-year-old midfielder have now collapsed.
West Ham signed the player for a fee of around £19 million, and he has been a key player for them in recent seasons. The player was recently linked with a move to Inter Milan, and it remains to be seen whether West Ham can convince him to commit his long-term future to the club.
Soucek is at the peak of his career right now, and he could be a useful option for David Moyes in the coming seasons. The Hammers will not want to lose him anytime soon. They parted ways with former captain Declan Rice recently and will want to hold on to their key players.
The Hammers are competing in the UEFA Europa League, and they will want to play European football regularly. The East Londoners must look to hold on to their best players in order to do well every season, and Soucek is certainly an important member of the dressing room.
The Czech Republic midfielder has proven himself in the Premier League since joining West Ham and he is unlikely to have any shortage of suitors. West Ham must do everything in their power to tie him down to a new contract.
The midfielder will be out of contract at the London club at the end of the season. But West Ham have an option to trigger an automatic extension for another year. However, they are prepared to offer him a longer contract, and it remains to be seen whether the two parties can come to an agreement.
Discussions between the two parties have currently stalled regarding a new contract, and the former Slavia Prague midfielder will be hoping to sort out his long-term future soon. Recent reports have claimed that he is ready to call it quits at West Ham.
Soucek has picked up 26 goals and 9 assists during his time at West Ham since joining them in January 2020. He will be hoping to help them win more trophies in the coming seasons. The 28-year-old was a key member of the side that won the UEFA Europa Conference League last season.
