- West Ham very close to make ninth summer signing.
- West Ham are involved in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Carlos Soler.
In this transfer window, West Ham have bolstered their squad with eight new signings. And the club are very close to make their ninth signing as well. A new forward as well as a few defenders were the Hammers priority at the start of the summer transfer window.
However, the Sunshine State Tour matches against Premier League opponents Wolves and Crystal Palace have highlighted the need for box-to-box midfielders as well. While West Ham have signed Guido Rodriguez as another defensive midfielder, they still need a new midfielder with great passing to provide depth and quality in the midfield.

Therefore, West Ham are interested in signing Paris Saint-Germain midfielder Carlos Soler. The 27-year-old possesses great build up play and his calm and composure helps to make several key passes throughout the game. However, Paris Saint-Germain have signed promising midfielder Joao Neves and they already have talented young players like Warren Zaire Emery and Vitinha in their squad.
Thus, Soler will get less playing time at the French club this season and hence, is looking to join a new club this summer. Recently, L'Equipe have reported that West Ham and Paris Saint-Germain are advancing in the negotiations for Soler and there are huge chances that Soler will be a West Ham player this season.
