Trpisovsky said on Sunday: ‘There is interest in Abdallah Sima. There is a fixed price you could go for.
‘We focus on managing the rest of the season with us. We talked about it with the guys at West Ham, where they have him very high on the list of possible reinforcements. ‘
West Ham is looking for a forward after Sebastian Haller left for Ajax in January, and the Hammers did not sign a recognized number nine in response to the departure.
Michail Antonio has been a substitute but is prone to injury, while Jesse Lingard was loaned out by Manchester United, but his long-term future is undecided.

In addition to 15 goals for Slavia this season, including a record 11 goals in 20 top flight Czech league games, Sima has also added eight assists in all competitions.
The teenager scored four goals in Slavia’s run to the Europa League quarter-finals, where they were eliminated by Arsenal 5-1 on aggregate. He scored on the road for Leicester in their 2-0 win in the last 32 at King Power Stadium in February.
Sima was initially on the books of French minnow Thonon Evian before being plucked by FC MAS Taborsko of the Czech third division in 2020.
The forward moved to Slavia earlier this season with the intention of putting him in the B team, but was fast-tracked to the first team after a month.
