Recent reports have linked both West Ham United and Everton to a potential move for Carlos Soler. The Hammers have been engaged in negotiations with Paris Saint-Germain for the Spanish midfielder, but Everton has also joined the race for his signature.
Initially, it seemed like West Ham was close to finalizing a deal worth €23 million for Soler. However, Everton has now shown a strong interest in the player, with reports indicating that the Toffees have been eyeing Soler for a while and are actively pursuing a deal.
According to transfer insider Fabrizio Romano, Soler’s priority is a move to West Ham, despite interest from other clubs. West Ham seems to be leading the race for the midfielder, with coach Julen Lopetegui and sporting director Tim Steidten playing key roles in negotiations.
This update is positive news for West Ham but presents a setback for Everton, who are now behind in the race for Soler. The midfielder, known for his versatility and experience at the top level, is a highly sought-after player with a playing style comparable to Spanish greats like Santi Cazorla and David Silva.
Overall, whoever secures Soler’s services will be adding a dynamic and talented midfielder to their squad, capable of making a significant impact on the pitch.
