West Ham have enquired about signing Slavia Prague forward Abdallah Sima ahead of the summer transfer window, according to reports.
It is believed that Vladimir Coufal and Tomas Soucek have spoken to the 19-year-old about a potential move to the London Stadium, and it is believed the player is high on the club’s list of targets.
Sima has scored 19 goals this season, and while some are sceptical over whether a deal will happen, most supporters on Twitter would back the Hammers’ swoop for the winger:
That would be ridiculous I would be over the moon

I think so with an obligation to buy to free up cash for this season I reckon! Plus we have a good relationship with them ⚒

Versatility is good for our current squad

Too raw imo. I would buy next year, he won't make an impact soon enough at West ham imo

It is believed that Sima is one of a number of options that manager David Moyes is considering, along with the likes of Sevilla’s Youssef En-Nesyri and Chelsea’s Tammy Abraham.
A couple of things may count against a move for the teenager, though. He isn’t an out-and-out striker, while there is likely to be fierce competition for his signature, with both Arsenal and Manchester United said to be interested in him.
