West Ham United have signed Czech Republic full back Vladimir Coufal from Slavia Prague on a three-year deal with the option of a further two years, the Premier League club announced Friday.
Financial details of the move were not disclosed but British media reported West Ham paid around five million pounds to secure the services of the 28-year old defender.
Coufal made 88 appearances in all competitions for Slavia following his arrival from Slovan Liberec in 2018, winning two league titles.
Capped eight times by the Czech Republic, Coufal will join fellow countryman Tomas Soucek at the London Stadium and look to plug the hole left by Ryan Fredericks, who is sidelined for the next few weeks due to a hamstring injury.
West Ham, who are 11th in the standing, face league-leader Leicester City Sunday.
