WEST Ham United have completed the signing of midfielder Tomas Soucek on loan for the remainder of the season.

The Czech Republic international joins from Slavia Prague and the Hammers have the option to make the deal permanent in the summer.

Soucek, 24, has 20 senior caps and becomes the second addition to David Moyes' squad at the London Stadium following the return of goalkeeper Darren Randolph from Middlesbrough.

And Moyes is pleased to have signed the box-to-box midfielder.

"We are delighted to welcome Tomas to West Ham United," Moyes told the Premier League club's official website.

"I think that he gives us a lot of different qualities, but most importantly he fits the profile of the player we want to bring to the club.

"He is young and hungry but with an established pedigree and proven talent."
