West Ham are in advanced talks to sign Slavia Prague and Czech Republic international Tomas Soucek ahead of the January transfer window deadline day, Goal can confirm.
In addition, David Moyes' side are targeting a striker, an additional midfielder and a right-back in total, and have already seen an offer for Nottingham Forest's Matty Cash knocked back.
The 24-year-old Soucek, who was voted the Czech First League Player of the Year for his role in helping Slavia to a domestic double last term, has been given permission to travel to London to discuss a move.
