Carlos Soler prioritising West Ham move ahead of Everton and others
The transfer insider, taking to X, says Soler’s priority is West Ham. Despite other clubs being keen, the Hammers are leading the race.

West Ham lead Everton in race for ‘complete midfielder’
Romano’s latest report is great news for West Ham and bad news for Everton, with Soler firmly in the claret-and-blue camp as things stand.
Soler hasn’t managed to cement a place in the starting XI at PSG and, as such, it looks as though the club has decided to move him on.
Whoever gets Soler will be getting an exciting player with plenty of experience at the highest level.
His style of play has been to that of compatriots Santi Cazorla and David Silva, who played for Arsenal and Manchester City respectively.
Curro Torres, who coached Soler at Valencia, previously told AS, via : “He’s the complete midfielder and can act as a six, an eight or a 10; he has power, arrives in the box and can score.
“I know him and I know that he can still bring his game to the next level. He has taken on responsibility in the team too.”
