Virals: ‘No resolution’ in Vladimir Coufal contract negotiations

West Ham are reportedly still in talks with right-back Vladimir Coufal over a new contract. 

The Hammers are hoping to reward the Czech Republic ace following an impressive debut Premier League campaign but are yet to reach an agreement. 

Coufal joined the Irons from Slavia Prague for £5million in October 2020 on a three-year contract (The Guardian). 

According to a report from Sky Sports, as cited by the official Twitter account, all parties remain in discussions over a new deal. 

The report claims that Coufal ‘feels let down’ by the opening offer from the club as West Ham attempt to keep the 20-cap star. 

Following a seven assist laden season from 34 Premier League outings, the Czech defender earned a 7.38 average Sofascore rating from five European Championship appearances. 

READ WEST HAM VERDICT

Valued at £10.8million (Transfermarkt), it’s safe to say West Ham have already received value for money on their expenditure. 

There can be no doubt the 28-year-old has earned an improved contract at the London Stadium and David Moyes will be especially keen that this situation is resolved. 

Given the unwelcome uncertainty around Declan Rice’s future, all associated with the Hammers will want clarity on the star names when the 2021/22 campaign gets underway.
