Kretinsky has made clear the club's resolve to keep their top talent amid mounting speculation linking Manchester United with moves for Mateus Fernandes and Jarrod Bowen. United have been mentioned as suitors for both players as the summer transfer window draws closer.
Consequently, United have emerged as a potential landing spot for both players should West Ham find themselves compelled to sell their star pair.
Nevertheless, Kretinsky has left no doubt that West Ham have absolutely no intention of allowing their key players to walk out the door this summer. We have a very credible strategy,” Kretinsky said in an interview with The Times. “We don’t need to sell the players for financial reasons.
“We are doing this to make sure we are promoted back to the Premier League immediately. That is our only goal.
It's a funny old life, I felt dejected upon relegation and whilst I am not mistaking the task ahead next season I probably feel as positive about the club as I have in a long while.
On the player front if we got to keep Bowen but had to sell the other two big guns I could live with that. I personally would give Coufal a knock and ask if he would like to return.
