West Ham defender Vladimir Coufal has found himself in a unique position ahead of Sunday’s clash with Manchester City. If the Hammers manage to avoid defeat and Arsenal beat Everton, the Gunners will win the Premier League title – and Coufal will never have to buy a coffee again, thanks to his local cafe’s Arsenal-supporting owner.
“I have been offered free coffee for the rest of my life!” Coufal excitedly tells Sky Sports. The 31-year-old has been receiving motivational messages from Arsenal fans, with some even hoping he can score his first Premier League goal this weekend.
With the opportunity to play spoiler in the title race, Coufal is eager to end Manchester City’s dominance as they aim for a historic fourth consecutive league title. “It’s nothing better than to have an option to decide the Premier League title. We are not considering the title, but we can decide it, so that’s good,” he says.
Coufal also has the chance to help out his former teammate Declan Rice, who is now at Arsenal and hoping for a favor from his old club. Despite West Ham having nothing to play for in terms of their league position, the prospect of influencing the title race is a thrilling one for Coufal.
As he prepares for Moyes’ final game in charge and potentially his own future at the club, Coufal remains focused on the task at hand and the opportunity to make a lasting impact on the Premier League title race. The stage is set for an exciting showdown on Sunday, with Coufal at the center of the action.
