West Ham central midfielder Tomas Soucek has been named in the FIFA 21 Premier League Team of the Season.
Having recently been named Czech Republic Football of the Year, the award is another nod towards what has been a superb first full campaign in east London for the 26-year-old.
The former Slavia Prague ace has been an inspirational part of David Moyes’ side this term – scoring nine times in 33 league appearances to push forwards the Irons’ European push.

Soucek was named alongside the likes of Mason Mount, Harry Kane and Kevin de Bruyne – illustrious company indeed.
Goals aside, the combative midfielder has been almost an ever-present figure at the heart of the West Ham midfield – earning an average Sofascore rating of 7.12 – missing only the final moments of the trip to Fulham having been wrongly dismissed.

Richy-deserved acclaim for Soucek, albeit a few other Hammers may feel they had done enough to make the cut.
Declan Rice, Craig Dawson and Jesse Lingard will all believe they were in with a shout – although the latter only started playing in the second half of the season.
Nevertheless, the Czech ace has been sensational this season and with five games remaining, more awards could yet be forthcoming.
