Czech international footballer Král joins fellow Czechs at West Ham

Midfielder Alex Král has become the latest Czech player to join West Ham United football club in the English Premier League. Král, who is 23, has left Spartak Moscow on a one-year loan deal with an option to buy and will now play alongside international teammates Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal, both of whom have made a very successful impact at West Ham.

Hammers manager David Moyes said the Czech had big potential and was capable of dealing with the demands of the league.
