West Ham star Tomas Soucek is in the form of his life, and it has been suggested the midfielder would make a good fit for Manchester United.
If Soucek continues to perform at his current level, West Ham would find it difficult to keep the player beyond the summer, claims Jamie O’Hara.
The midfielder has been nothing but impressive since he joined the Hammers on an initial loan deal in January 2020, before joining them permanently in the summer.
Soucek impressed from the very start at the Olympic Stadium and has carried that same form to the current campaign.
The Czech Republic international has scored nine Premier League goals this season, a shining light in West Ham’s bid for a European spot next summer.
If that isn’t enough, Soucek recently took center stage on the international scene. The 26-year-old bagged a hat-trick in Czech Republic’s 6-2 win over Estonia on Wednesday.
Pundit O’Hara believes West Ham face an uphill battle to keep the player at the club and also claimed the 26-year-old easily fits in at Manchester United.
“He has been awesome. He has transformed West Ham, he really has. What a player he’s been for them,” O’Hara told talkSPORT Breakfast.
“A great signing that went under the radar, but his performances have been absolutely exceptional.”
“He’s turned into a proper top player in the Premier League and they are lucky to have him West Ham. They might struggle to keep hold of him.”
“If you’re Soucek and you’re having the season you are and say Man United come along, because Man United need a player like him, he’d walk into their team with his energy, his runs and scores goals.”
“It’s hard to keep hold of someone when you’ve got big teams coming in for you.”
