West Ham United manager, David Moyes, has said he was delighted to secure the signing of Alex Kral from Spartak Moscow.

The 23-year-old has signed on a season-long loan deal with an option to buy.

“Alex will provide good competition in the centre of midfield,” manager David Moyes said on the club’s website.

“He is another young, talented player who we feel has a big potential and will be capable of adapting to the demands of the Premier League.

“We’ve brought him in on loan initially and, hopefully, over the course of the season he will make a valuable contribution, particularly with our busier schedule of fixtures.

“Alex is another established international player with the Czech Republic, and we hope he has similar characteristics and hunger to that of Tomas and Vladimir.”
