West Ham‘s very own Czech mates, Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal made it a Hammers one-two this week by claiming first and second in the nation’s Football of the Year awards.
Soucek earned the top award for the second consecutive year and Coufal was runner-up after the duo made excellent starts to their Premier League careers.
Having arrived on loan from Slavia Prague on loan last January, Soucek was snapped up on a permanent basis ahead of the start of the season.
Coufal arrived later on in the window for just £5m and has proven to be a shrewd piece of business.
These members of the Hammers faithful have been hailing their Czech pair on Twitter…
Many congratulations to our Tomas and well done to our Vladi coming in second place. These boys make us so proud ❤️🔥⚒
