West Ham could complete ‘great’ Hlozek signing in next 10 days after insider update – pundit
West Ham will be a “stronger team and squad” if they add Adam Hlozek this month, according to Kevin Campbell.
The former Arsenal striker, speaking exclusively to Football Insider, suggested the 19-year-old would be a “great” addition.
According to West Ham insider EXWHUEmployee via Patreon (18 January), “a deal is there to be done” for Sparta Prague striker Hlozek this month.
Football Insider revealed last month (13 December), that the Hammers made an enquiry about the striker and what it would take to sign him in this window.
Campbell suggested the Czech Republic international could be the perfect foil for first-choice Michail Antonio.
“It could be a great move for West Ham and David Moyes,” he told Football Insider‘s Dylan Childs.
“Is there better players out there than Hlozek? Yes. Can West Ham secure them while only offering them minutes off the bench? Not necessarily.
“You have to weigh up what you can do in January, and what the limitations are.
“If he comes in as that second striker, then they will be a stronger team and squad for it.”
Hlozek has netted six goals and contributed 12 more in 27 Sparta Prague games this term.
New West Ham shareholder Daniel Kretinsky is also co-owner and president of the Czech giants.
The Irons are yet to make a signing in the winter window despite their glaring lack of squad depth.
Antonio is the only senior striker on the books at the London Stadium.
West Ham sit fourth in the Premier League, one point clear of fourth-place Tottenham.
Moyes’ side face Man United at Old Trafford tomorrow.
