Many West Ham fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reaction to reports linking the club with a move for Tomas Soucek in the January transfer window.

The Hammers are looking to bolster their midfield this month, with the club heavily reliant on Declan Rice and Mark Noble.

West Ham were interested in signing Gedson Fernandes but the Benfica prodigy joined London rivals Tottenham Hotspur instead.

It seems the Hammers have earmarked Soucek as a potential option. Here are some of the selected tweets from the West Ham fans:

Would be a great addition either beside or as understudy for Rice (need another DM incase Rice misses games). We could still do with a B2B midfielder (or 2) though.#GSBOUT
