Saturday’s morning CONFIRMED news: West Ham in FRUITFUL talk to finalize deal for TOP 27-year-old player who is also keen on joining West Ham and…..

West Ham United are in talks with Paris Saint-Germain to sign Carlos Soler on a permanent deal, according to a report from La Parisien. The Hammers have opened discussions in recent days to secure the 27-year-old’s future at the club.

Soler joined West Ham on loan from PSG in the summer transfer window, and while the Hammers do not have an obligation to buy him as part of the deal, they are reportedly “delighted” with his commitment and attitude.

West Ham have planned “new meetings” to advance the discussion and secure Soler’s future, with the club having negotiated a purchase option of up to £16.6 million. The Hammers are looking to exercise this option, and with Soler not being part of Luis Enrique’s long-term plans at PSG, they have a good chance of securing a permanent deal.

Soler has gradually become a key player for West Ham, starting in the last five matches for the club. He has earned the trust of manager Julen Lopetegui, who has picked him ahead of Brazilian Lucas Paqueta in recent games.

While Soler has only managed one assist so far, his recent performances have been encouraging. He is a versatile player who can also play as a right-back, and West Ham are trying their best to get him on board permanently.

If West Ham can secure a deal in the region of £17 million for Soler, it would be an incredible piece of business. The club’s fans will be hoping that the negotiations are successful, as Soler’s permanent signing would be a significant boost to the team.

In other news, West Ham are also reportedly in the hunt to sign 26-year-old Brazilian midfielder, and the club are expected to make a move for him in the January transfer window.

The Hammers are currently preparing for their home clash against Brighton on Saturday, but Soler will be suspended for the match. His absence will be a big miss for the team, but West Ham will be hoping to secure a positive result without him.

Overall, the potential permanent signing of Soler is a exciting development for West Ham United, and the club’s fans will be eagerly awaiting updates on the negotiations.
