Czech legion in "West Ham" club is growing: the team was supplemented by A. Kralis © AFP

London's "West Ham United" will already have their third Czech player in their ranks: the team has been joined by Moscow's "Spartak" defensive midfielder Alex Kral. Currently, these Czechs compete in the ranks of the "Hammers": Tomas Souček and Vladimir Coufal, who both arrived from Prague's "Slavia" club. Meanwhile, A. Kral has previously also represented the "Slavia" team, but in the last two seasons he played in Russia, where he represented the Moscow "Spartak" club. Last season, the defensive midfielder played 29 matches in the Russian league, during which he made 5 assists, and also helped the Czech national team in the European Championship. This was the third and final "West Ham" acquisition this summer. Previously, the "Hammers" acquired Chelsea defender Kurt Zouma and CSKA forward Nikola Vlašić.
