West Ham United signing Alex Kral has posted a passionate farewell to former club Spartak Moscow and their fans.

Kral left Spartak for West Ham on transfer deadline day last week.

He said, "I would like to say thank you to Spartak for these two wonderful years. Many thanks to the club management, coaches, administrative and medical staff. To those people who were working when I came and those who joined later! I will always remember our glorious victories and our fans, who created a chilling atmosphere in the stands, and who can rightfully be called our 12th player. I am so grateful for them and will never forget them!

"I also wanted to say a huge thank you to all my teammates. They helped me from the first day in Russia, not only on the field, but also outside it. Thanks to this help, my dreams have also come true! Their goodbye video means a lot to me! Thank you guys! I wish you good health and a good season. It was a great honour for me to play in the greatest club in Russia! Spartak Moscow will forever remain in my heart!"
