Carlos Soler’s successful loan spell at West Ham United has put the club in a strong position to secure his permanent transfer.
The Spanish midfielder, currently on loan from Paris Saint-Germain, has impressed with his form, making it clear that West Ham may want to move forward with his signing, according to Le Parisien.
Although the initial loan deal does not include an obligation to buy, West Ham negotiated a purchase option worth up to £16.6 million.
With several clubs reportedly interested in him during the summer transfer window when Julen Lopetegui signed him on a loan deal, the Hammers are eager to lock down his future now, especially after seeing his positive attitude and commitment.
The Hammers plan to hold additional meetings in the coming months to finalise discussions and potentially trigger the purchase option to keep Soler at the club permanently.
Soler’s future at Paris Saint-Germain looks uncertain, as he is not part of Luis Enrique’s long-term plans.
The player will not be used much by the PSG manager even if he returns to his parent club in Ligue 1 which will make his signing for the Hammers much easier than earlier expected.
Carlos Soler has been the star performer for West Ham United
The midfielder has been impressive for Lopetegui’s side this season and he has been one of the club’s successful summer signings.
Although the other signings have not done too well so far, Soler has been the silver lining for the struggling West Ham side.
His performances have seen Lucas Paqueta get dropped from the team which shows how well the midfielder has played at the club.
The Spaniard has given the West Ham midfield a new dimension in the center of the pitch and it is not a surprise to see the Premier League side consider a permanent transfer for the 27-year-old player.
While Soler has been shining at the club, their other summer signing Guido Rodriguez has struggled to make an impact and he could be offloaded in the January transfer window.
Lopetegui’s side are expected to be active to make transfers once again and Manchester United defender Victor Lindelof is on their radar.

Nothing is going right for Manchester City at the moment.
The Premier League champions are struggling on and off the pitch. While their form on the pitch is a huge cause of concern for Pep Guardiola and the club owners, their struggles off the pitch have been well documented.
The Sky Blues are facing financial charges and a verdict over their sentence could be announced soon.
Their current slump may force the Premier League giants to make signings in the January transfer window but uncertainty over the verdict of their charges could make it a little difficult for them to sign new players.
Man City are missing a number of players through injuries including Rodri, Ruben Dias and Nathan Ake. They are expected to make signings in those positions in January but it remains to be seen if they will have it easy in the winter transfer window or not.
Guardiola was asked whether the current case against Man City will make it difficult for the club to sign players, to which he replied, as reported by GOAL:
“I don’t know.
“It’s going to happen in winter time. I don’t know what’s going to happen. I know the people are expecting that but I don’t know. In February, March, [maybe] will be the sentence.”
Pep Guardiola is ready to stand with Man City in this difficult time
Pep Guardiola wants to sign Premier League striker!
Man City are facing 115 charges, including 80 alleged breaches related to financial misrepresentation and 35 for failing to cooperate with investigations.
These allegations cover the period from 2009 to 2018 and accuse the club of providing inaccurate financial disclosures, particularly concerning sponsorship revenues and player salaries.
The charges have raised serious questions about the club’s financial practices during this time, potentially leading to significant consequences if proven.
A positive for Man City at the moment is that Guardiola has extended his contract at the club and whatever punishment they face, he will be leading them and doing his best to bring them out of the current crisis.
One of the players being targeted by the City manager is Bayer Leverkusen sensation Florian Wirtz.

West Ham United manager Julen Lopetegui spent heavily in the summer transfer window to strengthen his squad.
The Spaniard made nine signings and added players in all the positions in the squad.
While some of the new signings have worked well at the club, like Aaron Wan-Bissaka, most of the others have failed to make a positive impact at the club so far.
One of the players who has failed to cement his place in the starting line up at the club is midfielder Guido Rodriguez.
He was signed with great expectation but his move has not worked out well for the player as well as the club.
According to Claret and Hugh, Rodriguez could leave in January after the West Ham manager decided to use him less moving forward.
The 30-year-old is reportedly keen on returning to Real Betis, with the Spanish club also interested in re-signing their former player during the mid-season.
This potential move back to La Liga is one to watch closely, as both the player and Betis are eager to make it happen.

West Ham get green light to sign PSG star!
A source told Claret and Hugh about the West Ham midfielder:
“He had a small injury for the Bournemouth game, but the manager only sees him as a bit-part player now.”
It appears that the midfielder’s time at the club could soon be coming to an end now.
January transfer window is coming at the perfect time for the player and the Hammers to part ways.
The 30-year-old is known for his solid defensive abilities, passing range, and work rate in the midfield but Lopetegui has not been able to get the best out of the midfielder.
The Hammers, who are currently 14th in the Premier League, will face Brighton and Hove Albion in the Premier League next.
Lucas Paqueta has been named as another player who wants to leave the Hammers.

Aston Villa are currently seventh in the league and not enjoying the best of seasons.
They have been inconsistent this season and the poor form of striker Ollie Watkins has been a huge concern for manager Unai Emery.
Despite scoring seven goals in the league this season, Watkins has not been at his best and at times, goal scoring has been an issue for the Premier League side.
Villa are flying in the Champions League this season though, sitting comfortably in 5th position at the moment but it is evident that they need new players to strengthen their squad and raise their standards.
Aston Villa are reportedly preparing a significant bid to sign Nigerian winger Samuel Chukwueze from AC Milan, according to NotizieMilan.
Even though Chukwueze’s start in Serie A has been somewhat disappointing, Villa manager Emery remains interested in signing the 24-year-old.
The Spanish manager managed the player in the past in La Liga at Villarreal.
Aston Villa boss Unai Emery is a fan of Samuel Chukwueze
Emery is described as a long-time admirer of Chukwueze and still believes the Nigerian winger has significant potential.
Milan, according to reports, are open to the possibility of selling Chukwueze. However, it is unclear whether a move could happen in January, as there is no mention of a specific timeframe for the potential transfer.
The Premier League side are looking to sign a defender as well with Real Madrid’s Raul Asencio on their radar.
Fulham midfielder Andreas Pereira is another player being eyed by Emery as Villa look to have a stronger second half of the season and qualify for the Champions League again.
Emery has been backed by the club in the past to make new signings and spend money in the transfer market and the club are determined to do that again to support the manager in the future.

Arsenal have been struggling this season and they have not been their usual self.
The Gunners are currently third in the Premier League but they have been far from their best this season.
Out of the 16 Premier League matches they have played this season, they have only managed to win eight of them.
Both Liverpool and Chelsea are ahead of them in the league table and it is a huge cause of concern for Mikel Arteta and his players.
After challenging for the league title in the last two seasons, it was expected that the Gunners would do the same again but so far they have struggled to match their form from last season.
Arteta will look at the January transfer window as an opportunity to strengthen the squad and transfer expert Fabrizio Romano has provided an update on what the Gunners could do in the winter transfer window.
While the Premier League giants have not decided on their transfer targets yet, Romano has confirmed that they will be active in the market and looking to make additions to their squad.
While writing for GiveMeSport, the journalist wrote:
“Arsenal will be attentive on the market in January, but I can guarantee that as of today, there are no concrete targets already decided or talks ongoing.”
Arsenal need new additions to their squad
The North London club have struggled to create and score goals this season. They have been brilliant from set pieces but their chance creation ability from open play is a cause of serious concern for Arteta and his management team.
Apart from Bukayo Saka, nobody has been able to create a large number of chances for them this season.
The poor form of Gabriel Martinelli and Kai Havertz is concerning for the Gunners and Arteta would be looking to add more attackers to his side soon, particularly in the left-wing position.
An impressive January transfer window could still change the season for the Gunners and offer them an advantage over their rivals for the rest of the season.
The Premier League giants have been linked with a move for Las Palmas side Alberto Moleiro.
While Reiss Nelson, who is currently on loan at Fulham, is expected to leave the club next year.
