Czech shot-stopper one step closer to move
Shakhtar Donetsk keeper Jan Lastuvka is one step closer to joining West Ham after passing a routine medical.
The 26-year-old Czech Republic shot-stopper is set to join the East Londoners on a one-year loan deal with a view to a permanent move.
Lastuvka has already had one spell in England with Fulham, although he was unable to secure regular football ahead of Antti Niemi.
"I'm glad it's turned out like this," Lastuvka told CTK.
Looking forward
"I am looking forward to playing for West Ham and I'll do my best to repay their faith in me."
Lastuvka is also relishing the prospect of working under fellow countryman Ludek Miklosko, who is the goalkeeper coach at Upton Park.
"It's a big plus. I think the co-operation with him can help me a lot in improving my skills," he concluded.
