West Ham attacker Thomas Soucek : I feel ready for Premier League return

West Ham attacker Thomas Soucek is happy with the resumption of the Premier League.

The Czech Republic midfielder has played a lot of football since his arrival in east London two and half years ago, and a small break has finally given the No28 the chance to refresh mind and body ahead of the resumption of 2022/23 Premier League season.

"We got a few days off to rest with our families," he explained to whufc.com, “but after that, we met, and we started from the first day with [the goal] to change our position in the table. I just hope that we will show that in the first game.

“Maybe [the break came at a good time]. We did a small pre-season and friendly games, but it is different to the Premier League. I am really looking forward to being back and playing."

West Ham meet Arsenal on Boxing Day.

“Every one of us has to be ready for the first game," added Soucek. "From that first moment in the first game, one day after Christmas, we could give a present to all the West Ham fans. The momentum we can get from the first game back is massive."
