“West Ham to Enter Direct Talks with ‘Dangerous’ Target in the Coming Days – Fabrizio Romano”
"West Ham United Have Been Active This Summer, Adding Eight New Signings"
The Hammers began the transfer window with great momentum, completing the signings of Luis Guilherme, Wes Foderingham, and Max Kilman.
Early in August, West Ham continued their aggressive acquisition strategy, adding Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Fullkrug, and Guido Rodriguez to their roster.
Recently, they secured two more players, Jean-Clair Todibo from Nice and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United.
With the transfer window closing in 10 days, West Ham appears determined to make at least one more significant addition.
Fabrizio Romano has reported that West Ham is set to engage in direct negotiations with the representatives of a “dangerous” midfielder.
This player is Carlos Soler, who has been in a rotational role at Paris Saint-Germain over the past year.
L’Equipe had earlier suggested that Soler could be on the move this summer, with West Ham among the clubs exploring his availability.
Romano now confirms that the Hammers have made initial contact and will soon initiate direct discussions with Soler’s camp.
In addition to pursuing new signings, West Ham will also focus on managing player departures, according to the transfer insider.
Carlos Soler, a 27-year-old midfielder currently with Paris Saint-Germain, is also an international player for Spain.
He first gained prominence at Valencia, which led to his £17 million transfer to PSG in 2022.
Despite his move, Soler has struggled to secure a regular spot in PSG’s starting lineup, casting doubt on his future at the club.
Soler’s playing style has been likened to that of Santi Cazorla and David Silva, who both excelled in the Premier League.
Jaime Fernandez Valencia from the scouting outlet Breaking the Lines has praised Soler as a ‘great passer’ who can be more dangerous than some strikers.
Former Valencia youth coach Ruben Mora previously commented on Soler’s abilities, noting his competitiveness and decisiveness.
Mora highlighted a change in Soler’s position due to an injury, which revealed his knack for making impactful runs into the area and effective shooting.
Mora compared Soler’s understanding of the game to that of Ruben Baraja in central midfield, noting his high accuracy and tactical awareness.
