# Virals: Czech duo welcome Alex Kral to West Ham in unique style

[West Ham](https://readwestham.com/2021/08/31/virals-west-ham-outcast-xande-silva-an-option-for-nottingham-forest/) have left the confirmation of their latest transfer addition to two of their current stars.

On what has been a superb deadline day for the Hammers, [Alex Kral](https://readwestham.com/2021/08/31/ryan-taylor-confirms-west-ham-will-sign-spartak-moscow-ace-alex-kral/) became the latest Czech Republic international to become an Iron.

Following in the [footsteps](https://www.transfermarkt.us/west-ham-united/gastarbeiterDetails/verein/379/land_id/172) of Radoslav Kovac, Marek Stech and Tomas Repka before them, West Ham have an additional Czech mate at the London Stadium.

Signed on an initial year-long loan with the option to buy at the end of the season, Kral was [confirmed](https://twitter.com/WestHam/status/1432787787393142794) in style alongside fellow international and now club teammates Vladimir Coufal and Tomas Soucek.

The 23-year-old was a mainstay in the Czech Republic midfield next to Soucek and earned a [6.50 Sofascore rating](https://www.sofascore.com/player/alex-kral/825740) during the European Championships.

Capped on [22 occasions](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-kral/nationalmannschaft/spieler/337333/verein_id/3445) at senior level, Kral made [29 appearances](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/alex-kral/leistungsdatendetails/spieler/337333) last term for Spartak Moscow in the Russian top-flight.

### READ WEST HAM VERDICT

What a day.

West Ham have truly [exceeded expectations](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/west-ham-united/transfers/verein/379) this summer, albeit most of the business was saved until the final hours of the window.

Hammers can now be confident David Moyes has [all the necessary tools](https://www.whufc.com/teams/first-team/squad) in order to compete both domestically and in Europe this season.

Predominantly a defensive minded midfiedler, Kral boasts strong dribbling, tacking, interception and aerial prowess ([WhoScored](https://www.whoscored.com/Players/369861/Show/Alex-Kral)).
