Former West Ham striker Carlton Cole has declared Tomas Soucek to be pound for pound better than Manchester United star Bruno Fernandes.
Soucek joined the Hammers on loan from Slavia Prague in last January, and impressed enough for the club to sign him on a £19million permanent deal and four-year contract.
The Czech international has been in excellent form, adding an imposing presence in midfield and in both penalty areas, scoring seven times already this season.

And ex-Hammers target man Cole believes Soucek was a better transfer than Fernandes when you take into account the Portuguese's £67million fee.
