Shock Transfer Twist: David Moyes Desperate to Reunite with Former Star as Everton Finalise Bold Recruitment Plan – Report
David Moyes Eyes Tomas Soucek Reunion at Everton After West Ham Stint
Scottish manager David Moyes spent around five seasons at West Ham before departing last summer.
During his time there, Czech international Tomas Soucek was a vital component of his system.
Moyes’ return to Goodison Park has been welcomed warmly, with Everton showing solid progress under his guidance.
The 61-year-old recently led the Toffees to a 1-0 win over Nottingham Forest at the City Ground, further solidifying his impact.
It wouldn’t be a surprise if The Friedkin Group (TFG) backed Moyes in the summer transfer window.
One of Moyes’ top priorities is a successful negotiation with West Ham for Soucek.
According to GiveMeSport (18 April), Everton have already drawn up a recruitment strategy to bring the 30-year-old to Bramley-Moore Dock.
With Soucek reportedly slipping down the pecking order under new manager Graham Potter, West Ham may be open to letting him go.
This opens the door for Everton to swoop in, especially with looming gaps in their midfield.
Abdoulaye Doucoure is set to leave on a free transfer once his contract expires, and Idrissa Gueye could follow suit as his deal is also nearing its end.
Beyond the midfield, other first-team players like Dominic Calvert-Lewin and Michael Keane may also be nearing the end of their time at the club.
This could force TFG to make several crucial recruitment decisions this summer. Replacing these players will be key to maintaining momentum and squad depth.
Soucek could be a smart addition. Moyes is already familiar with the Czech midfielder’s strengths and playing style, which could help the transition.
While Soucek might not be the most technically refined player, his leadership, physicality, and ability to score from midfield make him a valuable asset.
With a strong presence on the pitch and a past connection with Moyes, Soucek seems a sensible target. His situation at West Ham will be one to watch closely in the coming weeks.
If TFG are serious about supporting Moyes and reinforcing the squad ahead of next season, backing a move for Soucek could be a solid step forward.
