West Ham United are eyeing their ninth summer signing, with Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Carlos Soler on their radar. According to TEAMtalk, the Hammers have made contact with PSG to discuss a potential deal, with the French club open to selling for around £20m. Soler is reportedly keen on the move and has been identified by Julen Lopetegui as the perfect fit for his side.

Technical director Tim Steidten has been instrumental in West Ham’s summer overhaul, securing eight new signings so far. The club are now targeting a new centre-back and central midfielder before the August 30 deadline.

Fabrizio Romano has confirmed the links to Soler, stating that he is a “concrete option” for West Ham. Soler’s versatility and experience would provide a boost to Lopetegui’s squad, with the midfielder capable of playing in various positions.

West Ham have been impressive in the transfer window, securing deals for Max Kilman, Crysencio Summerville, and Niclas Fullkrug, among others. The addition of Soler would further enhance their squad, as they aim for European qualification this season.

With Soler open to the transfer and Lopetegui keen to bring him in, a move to the London Stadium seems increasingly likely. The midfielder’s Champions League and Europa League experience would be a valuable asset to West Ham, as they look to build on their summer signings and achieve their goals.
