Alex Kral casts doubt over his West Ham future | OneFootball

West Ham number six Alex Kral has admitted that his lack of playing time has cast doubt over his future in London.

The Hammers have a £12m option to buy at the end of the season and, despite feeling like he’s making progress at West Ham, Kral is having a tough time adjusting to all the time spent on the sidelines.

“It all depends on me. The two clubs will make a decision in the summer,” Kral explains.

“There is an option to return to Spartak. But there is also the possibility of staying at West Ham. Maybe to go to another club. Nobody knows what will happen.

“Of course it’s hard for me. I’ve never been in a situation where I wasn’t playing. At Spartak, I was on the field every game.

“But I know what the coach wants from me. I need to work on myself. It is very important. I must take the chances I have. I have to play the way the coach wants.

“Of course, this is a different level. I think that the level of the Premier League is very different from all other leagues in general if we are talking about intensity and power. I’m glad that I can progress in the best league in the world.

“The environment, the mentality, a new city, a new club – everything is new for me. I’m starting to get used to everything, as I’ve been there for four months now. I think I have adapted well to the pace, the intensity. I still continue to study.”

Kral has only made a brief one-minute cameo in the Premier League, featuring just five times in all appearances since his arrival.
