# Tottenham: Lilywhites ‘offered’ Tomas Soucek

**[Tottenham Hotspur](https://www.footballtransfertavern.com/tottenham-hotspur-news/) have been ‘offered’ the chance to sign West Ham United midfielder Tomas Soucek, according to a report from [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-offered-west-ham-star-tomas-soucek-in-surprise-twist/).**

### The lowdown: Premier League star

Signed for £15million following a successful loan spell from Slavia Prague ([Sky Sports](https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11685/12035297/west-ham-sign-tomas-soucek-from-slavia-prague-on-four-year-deal)), Soucek has been nothing short of sensational since arriving in the Premier League.

The towering 27-year-old has scored [19 times and provided two assists](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tomas-soucek/leistungsdatenverein/spieler/283628) in 105 appearances for the Hammers, notching up [ten league goals](https://www.premierleague.com/players/25183/Tomas-Soucek/overview) in the 2020/21 campaign.

However, after discussions over a new contract were recently put [on hold](https://www.90min.com/posts/west-ham-contract-talks-tomas-soucek-on-hold-until-summer), it appears that Spurs could be set to benefit from the impasse surrounding the Czech Republic international…

### The latest: Spurs could swoop in

As per a Spurs source at [Football Insider](https://www.footballinsider247.com/sources-tottenham-offered-west-ham-star-tomas-soucek-in-surprise-twist/), Tottenham are believed to have been ‘offered the chance’ to sign Soucek this summer in what they call a ‘surprise twist’.

It’s claimed that the [48-cap](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tomas-soucek/nationalmannschaft/spieler/283628/verein_id/3445) ace’s future is ‘up in the air’ at present and there is a ‘very real chance’ that the powerful midfielder will be sold.

The report also states that the ‘historical relationship’ between the clubs doesn’t lend itself to a move but agents of the man hailed as [‘outstanding’](https://twitter.com/Buntingfootball/status/1281941601414270976) by journalist Josh Bunting are interested in making the move a reality.

### The verdict: No brainer

If indeed the Lilywhites were offered the chance to land Soucek then it would be a deal that Antonio Conte, Fabio Paratici and ENIC should jump at the opportunity to strike.

Not only would it mean taking a top player away from a domestic and city rival, but also bolstering a midfield department at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in need of an assertive presence.

During the recent 2021/22 campaign, Soucek won on average 6.5 duels per game in the league ([Sofascore](https://www.sofascore.com/player/tomas-soucek/799041)), more than Rodrigo Bentancur ([4.9](https://www.sofascore.com/player/bentancur-rodrigo/791190)) and Pierre-Emile Hojbjerg ([5.1](https://www.sofascore.com/player/pierre-emile-hojbjerg/149593)), highlighting the Czech Republic star’s combative prowess in the middle of the park.

Whilst the report makes no mention of a fee, valued at £40.5million and under contract with West Ham until 2024 ([Transfermarkt](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tomas-soucek/marktwertverlauf/spieler/283628)), this won’t be an inexpensive venture for Spurs but it is certainly a worthwhile one.
