West Ham United have confirmed their second signing of the day, and that pretty much ends their business for the summer.

The Hammers have confirmed the signing of Spartak Moscow midfielder Alex Kral late in the day.

They set the wheels in motion earlier today and wrapped up the deal before tonight’s deadline.

The 23-year-old defensive midfielder will join on an initial loan, with West Ham having an option to buy at the end of the season.

Kral was part of the Czech Republic’s squad for the European Championships alongside West Ham’s Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal.

Soucek took to social networking site Twitter to send a brilliant message to Kral, suggesting he acted as an agent on his behalf to take him to the London club.

Sports agent Soucek continues. Welcome to our club, @alexkralcz ! ⚒
