Writing for Eurosport, Dean Jones has shared news on West Ham United and their hunt for a new forward.
The Lowdown: Moyes in forward hunt…
Over the summer, it is absolutely no secret that manager David Moyes was actively scouring the market for a new striker and alternative to Michail Antonio.
The Jamaica international has been in red hot form for West Ham this season, scoring six goals and assisting three others already and winning the Premier League’s Player of the Month award for August.
However, his injury history is always a niggling concern for Moyes and co as the Hammers eye fresh forward additions to provide support.
The club are competing on more fronts this season and may need to make serious moves for a back up option sooner rather than later, with Jones now sharing who they could sign.
The Latest: Jones makes Hlozek claim…
Writing for Eurosport, the reporter has shared who West Ham could feasibly bring in for Moyes and Sparta Prague striker Hlozek has emerged as a serious option.
The Czech Republic international, who has been sporadically linked with a move to London, could now be an ‘interesting option’ due to billionaire Daniel Kretinsky’s advanced talks to buy a 27 per cent stake in West Ham.
His ties to Sparta, as explained by Jones, could now open the door for Rob Newman to sign Hlozek and a move ‘could be on the horizon’.
The Verdict: Exciting talent…
Scoring 32 goals in all competitions over his Sparta Prague senior career so far and 15 in the league alone last season, Hlozek arguably stands out as one of the most exciting attacking talents in Europe.
Lauded as ‘world class‘ by his agent Pavel Paska (90min), he’s also valued at a meagre £15.3 million by Transfermarkt – a potential bargain fee for someone his age.
The teenager would come with the potential for a huge sell-on, not to mention bags of ability, but the only drawback could be his lack of experience in a tough, major division like the Premier League.
