Tomas Soucek is poised to present Graham Potter with a summer dilemma. The Czech Republic international, who has two years remaining on his current deal, has had his head turned by the potential offer of a more lucrative four year contract at Everton.
While the Merseyside club has yet to formally approach West Ham with a bid, the Hammers are believed to be open to offers for most of their squad – with the exceptions of Aaron Wan-Bissaka and [Jarrod Bowen.](https://www.claretandhugh.info/jarrod-bowen-bio/)
Although Soucek has not submitted a transfer request and appears content in East London, the Everton proposal would take him to 34 years of age on improved terms.
Soucek was named Czech Footballer of the Year for the fourth time in March, equalling Pavel Nedveds record and trailing only Petr Cech’s nine awards.

However, with PSR concerns looming and an estimated £60m – £80m short fall, David Moyes will be keen to test West Ham’s resolve and sources suggest an offer is imminent.
