West Ham are not looking to offload midfielder Tomas Soucek, according to ExWHUEmployee.
It had been reported that the Hammers would be willing to sell the Czech international for around £20m but writing on The West Ham Way Patreon (quotes via their website), Ex said that Soucek is hoping to extend his stay at the London Stadium:
“West Ham have denied rumours that the club have good Soucek they are looking to sell him. Soucek wishes to remain at West Ham and is in fact looking for an improved contract.”

Several Premier League clubs are interested in Soucek
It is believed that his former manager David Moyes wants to take him to Everton, while Leeds have also been credited with an interest in the 30-year-old.
Soucek is said to have up to five Premier League teams pursuing his signature, so it will be interesting to see whether the Irons would be tempted to sell.
The West Ham star has two years left on his contract
It should be pointed out that Soucek only put pen to paper on a new deal at the start of last year so it seems unlikely that he will be offered improved terms.
A lot will depend on how highly Graham Potter rates the player. The head coach is said to be keen on improving his options in midfield and it’s not known where Soucek features in his plans.
