# West Ham United: Hammers fans erupt over more Vladimir Coufal news

**Flocking to Twitter, many West Ham United fans have erupted over more news involving defender Vladimir Coufal in what has been an eventful week for the 29-year-old.**

As first reported by[journalist Roshane Thomas of The Athletic](https://twitter.com/roshanesport/status/1444243632693907460?s=21), Coufal has put pen to paper on a new deal at the London Stadium and one which will extend his stay by a further three years.

The Czech Republic international was arguably one of West Ham’s standout performers last year, finishing the 2020/2021 Premier League season with 2.1 tackles per 90 on average – the joint-highest number in David Moyes’ squad ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Teams/29/Archive/England-West-Ham)).

He has been rewarded with his start to life in east London with a bumper new contract, and now more news has emerged on Coufal in what could be a boost for West Ham over the international break.

As relayed by [football.london](https://www.football.london/west-ham-united-fc/players/vladimir-coufal-czech-republic-withdraw-21768600), the ace has decided to withdraw from his national side’s upcoming World Cup Qualifiers – prioritising recovery given he has been struggling with a recent groin problem.

Coufal will now gain some rest over the next fortnight with the hope of returning for West Ham on October 17 fit and firing ahead a congested schedule.

Upon hearing that he won’t link up with the Czech Republic after all, many Irons supporters are thrilled and believe it will come as a boost for Moyes.
