# West Ham: Insider shares crucial Vladimir Coufal exit update

**[West Ham United](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/west-ham-news/) supporters have been handed a crucial update amid exit rumours surrounding Vladimir Coufal.**

### The Lowdown: On the move?

The Czech Republic international quickly earned [popularity](https://breakingthelines.com/player-analysis/vladimir-coufal-the-bargain-of-the-summer/#:~:text=quickly%20flourished%20into%20a%20fan%20favourite) in east London after a brilliant 2020/21 debut season in the [Premier League](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/premier-league-news/).

Alongside compatriot Tomas Soucek, the 30-year-old endeared himself to both manager David Moyes and the Hammers faithful with a string of consistent performances in claret and blue.

While you could that argue his performances have [waned somewhat](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/111372/History/Vladim%C3%ADr-Coufal) since then, Coufal still appears to be a valued member of West Ham’s squad, starting [half](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/111372/Show/Vladim%C3%ADr-Coufal) of their top-flight matches so far this season.

### The Latest: Coufal rumours emerge…

Recently, Sky Deutschland claimed (via [Claret & Hugh](https://www.claretandhugh.info/candh-exclusive-hammers-reveal-coufal-truth/)) that officials from Bayer Leverkusen were on their way to West Ham to try and instigate a deal for Coufal.

The Bundesliga side are reportedly ready to swoop for the defender, with a club insider now sharing what they’ve heard on the situation.

Sharing crucial news from an ‘ever-reliable source’ of theirs, [Claret & Hugh](https://www.claretandhugh.info/candh-exclusive-hammers-reveal-coufal-truth/) have moved to quash this exit rumour.

The source in question explained: “We have heard nothing whatsoever from any club in Germany or anywhere else.”

### The Verdict: Good news…

Moyes needs depth in his West Ham squad now more than ever if the 59-year-old is to turn things around at the London Stadium.

The ever-congested fixture calendar as a result of the World Cup has arguably resulted in more injuries and more absences, with fellow right-back Ben Johnson [having been sidelined](https://thisisfutbol.com/2022/09/blogs/premier-league/west-ham-united-news-whufc-updates-ben-johnson-injury/) at various points this season.

The last thing that West Ham need is a capable senior figure like Coufal leaving the squad mid-season, so this update should come as music to the ears of Irons supporters despite some of the [recent criticism](https://www.google.ie/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=2ahUKEwiixKm7kKH7AhWGfMAKHXdEDHoQFnoECBYQAQ&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.hammers.news%2Fclub-news%2Fvladimir-coufal-deletes-social-media-post-after-abuse-from-so-called-west-ham-fans-but-real-supporters-rally%2F&usg=AOvVaw1bMnnYlc8bRcs7Fvx_osHb) which has come his way.
