Ryan Taylor confirms West Ham will sign Spartak Moscow ace Alex Kral

West Ham look to have completed the loan capture of Spartak Moscow midfielder Alex Kral

The 23-year-old will reportedly join the Hammers on a season-long loan deal with an obligation to buy attached. 

Predominantly a defensive-minded midfielder, Kral, a compatriot of Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal, will offer added depth to the department at the London Stadium. 

Journalist Ryan Taylor has quoted Managing Director at the Russian Premier Liga club, Evgeny Melezhikov, seemingly confirming the transfer. 

Capped 22 times by the Czech Republic, Kral is often paired alongside Soucek at the international level. 

Last season the man signed from Slavia Prague for £10.8million in 2019 (Transfermarkt) registered five assists in 29 league outings. 

READ WEST HAM VERDICT

This is quickly turning into a dream transfer window and deadline day for the Hammers. 

Given the upcoming Europa League campaign the squad needed additions in certain areas and Moyes is on the cusp of strengthening adequately. 

Kral will likely act as cover for Declan Rice and Soucek, usurping club captain Mark Noble in the pecking order. 

As the deadline fast approaches, wrapping up the deal for Kral and perhaps moving onto that allusive recognised striker remain on the ideal agenda.
