West Ham are ready to send Alex Kral back to parent club Spartak Moscow.

The Daily Star says Irons manager David Moyes signed the midfielder on loan with an option to buy for £17m, but unsurprisingly it's been reported that West Ham have no intention of signing him on a permanent basis. Therefore he will be sent back to Moscow in the summer, unless a clause is triggered.

West Ham may be obliged to sign Kral should be rack up a certain amount of appearances, but with one minute of Premier League action, that doesn't appear to be a concern.

In fact, Kral has only played 255 minutes across all competitions.
