West Ham transfer news: Irons told to sign £15.3m teenager to get to the next level | OneFootball

Journalist Paul Brown believes that Adam Hlozek is the sort of signing West Ham have to make if they want to go to that next level, praising the Hammers' recent signings claiming they have been very astute. After a terrific season last term, which saw West Ham finish sixth in the Premier League and qualify for the Europa League, David Moyes looked to strengthen his side during the summer transfer window as he made six signings. Pierre Ekwah Elimby, Thierry Nevers, Armstrong Oko-Flex, Alphonse Areola, Nikola Vlasic and Alex Kral all arrived at the London Stadium to bolster David Moyes’ side, helping cope with the demand of domestic and European football.

The latest on reports linking Adam Hlozek with a move to West Ham

Football insider have reported that the Hammers are working on a deal to bring Sparta Prague player Adam Hlozek to the club in January, with the report also suggesting that West Ham face competition from other Premier League, and top European, clubs. The same publication also revealed earlier this year that Liverpool were interested in the 19-year-old as the Merseyside outfit were in the market for new forwards, but Hlozek stayed with Sparta Prague beyond the August 31 deadline.

Hlozek was crowned the top scorer in Fortuna Liga during the last campaign as he scored 15 goals in the league, and as well as playing a centre-forward he also featured from the left wing on five occasions, as well as a second striker.
