West Ham United might make a late move to sign frustrated 27-year-old Spanish midfielder Carlos Soler from Paris Saint-Germain before the summer transfer window shuts down.
According to the reliable Ex WHU Employee, as relayed by West Ham Central, Carlos Soler is the subject of interest from West Ham United. The Hammers are keen on bolstering their midfield department in the summer transfer window. And they might launch a late move to sign the frustrated 27-year-old Paris Saint-Germain midfielder.
Carlos Soler and PSG frustrations
Carlos Soler has seen his progress slow down since joining Paris Saint-Germain from Valencia in September 2022. The move came out of nowhere, and it was surprising, considering PSG had a stacked midfield department, which also consisted of Vitinha, Marco Verratti, and Fabian Ruiz, among others.
While the Spaniard has won two Ligue 1 titles with PSG, he has not been a regular starter for Les Parisiens in the middle of the park. The 27-year-old has not even racked up 3,000 minutes of game time in two seasons with PSG, turning out 63 times while chipping in with eight goals and eight assists.
While Carlos Soler’s stock has fallen, he remains popular in the transfer market midway through the summer transfer window. The Spanish international might soon head to the Premier League, with a few clubs, including Aston Villa, already showing interest in him. However, West Ham United might look to beat the competition to his signature.
Premier League adventure on the horizon?
West Ham United’s interest in Carlos Soler is understandable. The Hammers have been active in the market throughout the summer transfer window thus far, signing three players. In addition, Guido Rodriguez and Niclas Fullkrug are closing in joining West Ham in the coming days.
However, the Hammers are not done yet, as they are keen on bolstering their midfield unit in the coming days. So, they have set their sights on Soler, with the PSG midfielder a viable target to replace Lucas Paqueta, who faces an uncertain future amid his betting scandal.
Soler has thus emerged as a viable target for West Ham, although they will unlikely launch the offensive to sign the frustrated 27-year-old PSG midfielder until the final days of the summer transfer window.
