West Ham boss David Moyes has explained bringing in Alex Kral.
The midfielder was signed on deadline day from Spartak Moscow.
Moyes told the club's website: “He will provide good competition in the centre of midfield," the manager confirmed. “He is another young, talented player who we feel has a big potential and will be capable of adapting to the demands of the Premier League.
“We've brought him in on loan initially and, hopefully, over the course of the season he will make a valuable contribution, particularly with our busier schedule of fixtures.
“Alex is another established international player with the Czech Republic, and we hope he has similar characteristics and hunger to that of Tomáš (Soucek) and Vladimír (Coufal)."
