His energetic performances have also drawn comparisons with Arsenal legend Thierry Henry.

Former Slavia Prague midfielder Tomas Soucek, who joined West Ham in the summer, spoke highly of Sima earlier this season.

As quoted by The Sun, Soucek said: ‘I have to say that the guys or the media around West Ham know about him.

‘I’d just like another player from Slavia to come, but it’s still a long way off.

‘He’s still a young player and he has to prove it. But a lot of people know about him and notices him. Just good for him.’
