West Ham United boss David Moyes is delighted to be keeping hold of Tomas Soucek.
The midfielder is signing permanently from Slavia Prague.
Moyes explained yesterday: "Tomáš Souček was always sticking around. The only way he wasn't sticking around is if we went down or we weren't here, there was a chance he would go back to Slavia Prague, but we always had it in our plans that he'd stay with us. He's a West Ham player, simple as that.
"The important thing for any manager is getting recruitment right. If you get your recruitment wrong, you tend to lose your job, so you need them to work for you.
"The two boys we brought in in January, Tomáš and Jarrod Bowen, have made a big difference to us and Tomáš is beginning to blossom.
"To join the Premier League and make an impact so quickly is not easy. It takes time. Tomáš has certainly helped us and without him, I'm not sure we'd definitely be a Premier League club, which of course we are still not guaranteed to be.
"We're going to try to look to bring up some other ones, of course we will, but we're not daft and we know you don't always get them right. That's impossible, but the more we can get correct, the better we can hope for going forward."
