Tomas Chory Transfer

Started Last Movement

Will Tomas Chory join West Ham? The reported move is now flatly disputed.

West Ham Zone relayed claims that West Ham had bid and Slavia Prague's owner blocked a sale, but ExWHUEmployee has told The West Ham Way that the club made no approach or official enquiry. No agreement is reported.

No-Guff Summary

  • Latest: ExWHUEmployee, reported by The West Ham Way, says West Ham made no approach or official enquiry for Chory.
  • Conflict: That directly contradicts the earlier Infotbal claim, relayed by West Ham Zone, that West Ham had bid before Slavia's owner intervened.
  • Bottom line: There is no agreement, and the central claim that West Ham acted is now disputed.
Development

Slavia owner reportedly blocks Chory sale

West Ham's reported move for Tomas Chory has hit a rather firm-looking obstacle. Infotbal, relayed by West Ham Zone, says Slavia Prague owner Pavel Tykac has ordered the club to continue relying on the striker under his existing contract.

The same report says Chory will not enter negotiations with other clubs, with West Ham among those mentioned. That would shut the door on the Hammers' reported bid, but both developments remain attributed reports rather than an agreed transfer.
