West Ham United midfielder Alex Kral has revealed that early into his Hammers loan spell, he felt as if he was not going to play many minutes for the club.
Following in the footsteps of national team colleagues Tomas Soucek and Vladimir Coufal, Czech Republic international midfielder Kral joined West Ham on loan for the duration of last season from Spartak Moscow but Kral made just six appearances for the club, only playing one minute of Premier League football.
Kral has again left the Russian club on loan and is now in Germany on a loan spell with Schalke in the Bundesliga and has been speaking about his time in east London.
