West Ham can expect an offer from Leeds United for Tomáš Souček if the Yorkshire club secure promotion to the Premier League.
Leeds are currently locked in a three-way battle with Sheffield United and Burnley for the two automatic Championship promotion spots.
With £61m losses recorded in their most recent financial report for the 2023/24 season, Leeds know they must go up — and stay up — and are willing to spend to ensure Premier League survival.

West ham midfielder Soucek is in high demand
Souček remains well down the list of earners among West Ham’s senior players, and Everton are believed to be ready to offer him at least £30k per week more than his current wage. Claret & Hugh also understands that Leeds would be willing to match that offer.
The player himself is thought to be happy at West Ham, although with his contract set to expire in just over two years, he would like clarity over his long-term future sooner rather than later.
West Ham are believed to want to review the players contract towards the end of next season.
