# West Ham United: Fans heap praise on Tomas Soucek

**Fans of West Ham United have taken to Twitter to heap praise on Tomas Soucek’s first-half performance against Crystal Palace.**

Since arriving at West Ham from Slavia Prague in what was originally a [six-month loan deal](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tomas-soucek/transfers/spieler/283628) that the Hammers made a [£14.58 million permanent move](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/tomas-soucek/transfers/spieler/283628) last summer, Soucek has highly impressed for David Moyes’ side.

Last season, the 25-year-old scored [three goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/143595/History/Tomas-Soucek) over his 13 Premier League appearances, as well as averaging a [WhoScored match rating of 7.14](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/143595/History/Tomas-Soucek) – ranking him as the club’s [second-best performer](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Archive/England-West-Ham) in the top flight.

The Czech Republic international has continued his fine form this term as, prior to the Crystal Palace fixture, the midfielder has scored [five goals](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/143595/Show/Tomas-Soucek) over his 19 Premier League fixtures, as well as averaging a [WhoScored match rating of 7.34](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/143595/Show/Tomas-Soucek).

However, in the opening half of West Ham’s Tuesday night clash with Crystal Palace, Soucek has [added a further two goals to his haul](https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/55714079) for the season, turning the game around single-handedly for the Hammers, causing fans of the club to flock to Twitter to heap praise on the midfielder.
