West Ham hero Ludek Miklosko says everyone in the Czech Republic are aware of the Irons.

Tomáš Řepka and Radoslav Kováč donned the Claret and Blue in the past but, with Souček and Coufal making their homes in east London and having been joined by international teammate Alex Král on loan last season, Mikloško says his former club has never been more renowned in his country.

“I've definitely noticed more people talking about West Ham," he told whufc.com. “I think every single person in the Czech Republic now knows Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal are playing at West Ham.

“I think everyone here knows about West Ham and has watched the team, and I think now there are even more supporters for West Ham here than when I was playing!"
