West Ham have completed their second business of transfer deadline day, bringing in midfielder Alex Kral after earlier completing a move for attacker Nikola Vlasic. Czech Republic international Kral has joined on a season-long loan from Spartak Moscow, with the option to make the move permanent at the end of the campaign. “Alex is another established international player with the Czech Republic, and we hope he has similar characteristics and hunger to that of Tomas and Vladimir.”Meanwhile, Croatia international Vlasic has signed for West Ham for an undisclosed fee from CSKA Moscow on a five-year deal. “I have been watching Nikola improve over recent seasons – he has got a good goals and assists record during that time,” Moyes added. “He is also a Croatia international with experience and still being only 23, I feel there is more to come from him.”
