Souček hails West Ham as ‘perfect match’ after signing new deal until 2028

West Ham United midfielder Tomáš Souček has signed a new contract extending his stay at the London Stadium until the summer of 2028. The 31-year-old Czech Republic international entered the final year of his previous agreement before committing his future to the Championship club. Souček described West Ham as a "perfect match" and declared his primary ambition is guiding the team back to the Premier League.

Souček recently returned from a five-month absence caused by an ankle ligament injury, playing 45 minutes in a 1-1 draw against Queens Park Rangers. Head coach Nuno Espírito Santo praised Souček as a huge dressing-room figure, while recruitment director Nils Koppen emphasized the priority of retaining experienced leaders.
