West Ham manager Graham Potter wants Tomas Soucek to remain at the London Stadium next season.
The Czech has been a major goalscoring outlet for Potter since his arrival in east London, although the former Brighton and Chelsea manager is set to oversee a big overhaul of personnel this summer.
Vladimir Coufal, Danny Ings, Aaron Cresswell, and Lukasz Fabianski are all set to depart on free transfers, while Evan Ferguson and Carlos Soler’s loan deals will not be made permanent.
As for Soucek, Potter wants the box-to-box midfielder to commit his future to the club.
“He’s been a fantastic signing for the club, first and foremost, to deliver what he has delivered over a period of time.
“He’s a top professional, he has been a fantastic servant to the club, and I am looking forward to working with him in the short, medium and long-term future.
“What did I see in him at Brighton? The same. The same that West Ham have seen in him, and what he has developed in fairness.
“He’s a midfield player that can do both sides of the game. Affects the game. Scores. In the boxes, he’s fantastic, defence and attack, set pieces.
“Add to that, a really, really good professional. He is a quiet man but leads by example in terms of how he conducts himself every day.”
