He is one of the best midfielders of the Russian league and the driving force of the Czech national team. Now Premier League clubs are circling Alex King. Will the young midfielder complete the Czech enclave in the best league in the world?
For Lecko, the decision seemed strange. He could play with Slavia against Barcelona, Dortmund or Inter, to compete with the giants of world football. Instead, he chose to be engaged in Russia, and immediately after the Prague club advanced to the Champions League, he moved to Spartak Moscow.
But with more than a year apart, it is clear that it was a good choice. Alex Král is the driving force behind the Moscow team, he is also doing well in the national jersey and he is being watched by teams from the most watched league in the world.
“Scouts of various teams from the highest competition are looking for him,” the Daily Mirror writes in its article. “Currently, he values it at about thirty million pounds. But he is pushing for a transfer already during the January term. They are afraid that if it shines at the European Championships, the price will skyrocket,” the paper writes.
At first glance, the king attracts with his distinctive mane, but his skills play a key role on the field. His energy and game overview make him an almost indispensable member of the basic line-up of Jaroslav Šilhavý, in a trio with former teammates Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Darida, he forms a modern and dynamic trio of midfielders.
The Czech footballers defeated Slovakia in the final sixth match of the League of Nations on Wednesday and in the last match of this year 2: 0. In the second year of the competition, the representatives won group B2 by two points ahead of Scotland and secured promotion to the elite League A.
After deaf years, Czech players are experiencing a renaissance on the Islands. Tomáš Souček and Vladimír Coufal immediately fit into the basic line-up of West Ham, and fans of the London team are calling for further domestic reinforcements.
“I’m definitely going to make money moving to Spartak in the future,” said the hairy midfielder in May this year. Looks like he wasn’t talking in the wind. Everything is thought out in detail. “My long-term goal is to engage in England,” he said.
This dream may come true soon – and the King will rule the English islands.
