Souček reportedly in talks over new West Ham deal

Tomáš Souček is reportedly in talks over a new West Ham contract, according to Claret&Hugh. The outlet cites an unnamed source it describes as close to the midfielder.

Claret&Hugh says Souček's current deal expires in summer 2027. It reports no agreement or terms for a new one, so the useful development here is the claimed talks, not a deal done.
