West Ham United have announced that midfielder Tomas Soucek has extended his contract with the club until June 2027.
The 28-year-old initially joining the Hammers on loan from Slavia Prague in January 2020 before making his move to the London Stadium permanent the following summer.
Soucek has since established himself as a key cog in David Moyes's machine, scoring 30 goals in 182 appearances across all competitions.
The Czech Republic international chipped in with three goals and six assists in 50 games last season and helped the Hammers win the Europa Conference League – the club's first European trophy for 58 years.
Soucek, who has since scored eight goals in 27 matches so far this term, was due to see his original contract expire in the summer of 2024, but he has decided to commit his future to West Ham by penning a new three-year extension.
