"As per Hammers News, Tomas Soucek was expected to start due to Nuno taking the decision to drop Freddie Potts and Soungoutou Magassa to the bench, but in the end, it was previously-outcasted Guido Rodriguez that got the nod, in what has been seen as a clear indication of where the Czech Replublic international stands at the London Stadium. Soucek is now considered to be fifth or sixth choice in defensive midfielder, which indicates that he has little future at West Ham."
"Ahead of the January transfer window, West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo is continuing to evaluate his squad. Midfield has been an area of express focus for the Portuguese, and among his decision has been to drop a cult hero down the pecking order. West Ham picked up a very respectable 1-1 draw against Brighton on Sunday, in a match that many expected them to lose. However, it was a strong showing from Nuno's side,"
West Ham manager Nuno Espirito Santo is evaluating his squad ahead of the January transfer window with midfield a particular focus. Nuno made selection choices that saw previously fringe players preferred, signalling a shift in the pecking order. Tomas Soucek, a long-serving midfielder with 245 appearances since 2020, has dropped down the hierarchy to around fifth or sixth-choice defensive midfielder. That reduced standing suggests limited future prospects at the club and opens the possibility of a January transfer. Everton and David Moyes have shown interest in reuniting with the 30-year-old powerhouse.
