West Ham United and Everton have both been linked with Carlos Soler in recent days.

The Hammers have been in talks with Paris Saint-Germain over the Spaniard, but the Toffees have also entered the race of late.

 reported earlier this week that West Ham were getting closer to an agreement for Soler worth around €23million (£19.5million) including add-ons.

However, Florian Plettenberg went on to report on Thursday that Everton had begun exploring a deal to sign Soler.

The 27-year-old has been on the Toffees’ wish-list for a “long time” and interest is “concrete”, added the Sky Sport Germany journalist.

Now, Fabrizio Romano has shared the latest on Soler amid linked with both West Ham and Everton.

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.

Tim Steidten and Julen Lopetegui have been “pushing a lot” to get a deal for the Spain international over the line, added Romano.

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.”
