**Rumours have recently circulated that Tomas Soucek will not sign another contract for the Hammers, but as time has passed, the situation has begun to be unclear once again.**
Tomas Soucek’s current West Ham United contract is set to expire in 2027. The Czech international has expressed his desire and love for West Ham, releasing numerous times to the press that he would love nothing more than to finish his Football career at West Ham, retiring in Claret and Blue colours.
During the most recent summer transfer window that has passed, David Moyes had encouraged Everton to make offers for the Czech captain, but these offers were rejected, and Soucek began the season under Graham Potter; however, after a tough time from being expelled from the starting line-up, Soucek supposedly began to review his options and was rumoured to return to Slavia Prague next summer.
The advancement regarding this transfer has taken a turn in recent times according to a handful of media sources, Soucek under Nuno Espirito Santo has found himself playing a key role once again and he is one of the many crucial players in the team that are helping the Hammers battle through one of the most intense relegation fights the Premier League has seen over the past few seasons.
Despite past speculation, Tomas Soucek doesn’t have a contract extension that’s possible to be triggered, meaning he does only have just over a year remaining on his contract, which is frustrating. It is almost ludicrous that the West Ham hierarchy haven’t pushed for Tomas to sign a new contract as he’s a player that undoubably loves the club and will do anything to fight for the badge.
Losing Soucek would be a tragedy to West Ham, and not only would the fans miss him, but he would also be a huge asset lost for Nuno. There is hope that has been reignited that perhaps the manager could encourage Soucek to sign a new deal in the near future, but at this moment in time, especially with West Ham’s league being an unknown for next season, everything is in the air at the moment.
