West Ham are reportedly working on completing a move for exciting Sparta Prague youngster Adam Hlozek in the January transfer window.

The Lowdown: Hlozek excelling for Sparta Prague

The 19-year-old is arguably one of the most gifted young attacking players in Europe at the moment, performing consistently for Sparta despite his tender years.

Hlozek has scored 32 goals and registered 29 assists in 106 appearances for the Czech giants, also netting once in 12 caps for the Czech Republic national team.

West Ham have been linked with a move for the teenage sensation recently and a fresh update has now emerged regarding their interest in him.

The Latest: West Ham look to complete Hlozek move

According to Football Insider, the Hammers are 'working on a deal' to acquire Hlozek's services in January, aiming to pip Liverpool to his signature in the process.

A recruitment source is thought to have provided the information regarding a potential move coming to fruition, with West Ham seemingly stepping up their efforts to beat other suitors to the punch for the 19-year-old's signature.

The Verdict: Hugely exciting prospect

Hlozek has been hailed as 'exceptional' by Sparta manager Pavel Vrba and he could be a hugely exciting signing for West Ham, should they get a deal over the line.

While he would be seen as a long-term signing, his aforementioned goalscoring record shows that he is already an established player who could instantly provide much-needed competition for Michail Antonio.

For all of the Irons' brilliant recent form, there is a feeling that they are too reliant on the Jamaica international staying fit and leading the line - something which may not always be possible, given his chequered injury history.

Hlozek could come in and add more depth in attack, providing a freshness midway through the season as the matches come thick and fast for David Moyes' charges.
