West Ham United on Friday announced that Tomas Soucek has signed a four-year contract with the club.

"West Ham United are delighted to confirm the permanent arrival of Tomas Soucek from Slavia Prague on a four-year contract," the club said in a statement.

West Ham United manager David Moyes praised Soucek saying that the 25-year-old is a terrific lad with "very good physical capabilities".

"I'm delighted that Tomas has signed his permanent contract to secure his long-term future at the Club," the club's official website quoted Moyes as saying.

"When I came in, we talked about needing another midfield player, to help Declan Rice and Mark Noble, and I think he's been a really good fit for us. He's a terrific lad with very good physical capabilities. He has scored some really important goals for us, against Chelsea, Newcastle and Watford," he added.
