Portrait: Who is Alex Kral?

Alex Kral, a 23 years old mid-fielder player for Spartak Moscow. The Czech player graduated from Slavia Prague academy. He then continued playing in their Senior team, before moving to Russia in 2019.

The last time West Ham enquired about him in the January Transfer window, he had a value of around £14 Million.

Alex Kral has the ability to play like a box-to-box midfielder. He idolizes Toni Kroos and Frenkie De Jong. This season, he has played 30 games for Spartak Moscow. Didn’t score any goal, but provided 5 assists in the Premier division league.

Alex Kral’s West Ham familiarity

Alex Kral knows West Ham’s defensive mid-fielder, Tomas Soucek, from his Slavia Prague days. He also knows Vladimir Coufal, the Czech defender playing at West Ham.

This suggests that, even if Alex Kral makes a move to England, he will not feel like a new fish. Known peers are certainly good to mix up with the squad quickly.
