Carlos Soler's successful loan spell at West Ham United has put the club in a strong position to secure his permanent move.
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 signature, according to the British newspaper “Daily Mail”. Parisian.
Although the initial loan deal did not include a commitment to buy, West Ham have negotiated a purchase option worth up to £16.6m.
With reports of several clubs being interested in him during the summer transfer window when Julen Lopetegui signed him on loan, the Hammers are keen to secure his future now, especially after seeing his positive attitude and commitment.
The Hammers plan to hold additional meetings in the coming months to finalize discussions and possibly activate 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 original Ligue 1 club which would make his signing for the Hammers much easier than previously expected.
Carlos Soler was the star of West Ham United
The midfielder has been impressive for Lopetegui's side this season and was one of the club's successful summer signings.
Although other signings have not done well so far, Soler has been the silver lining for a struggling West Ham side.
His performance has led to Lucas Paqueta being dropped from the squad which shows how well the midfielder is playing for the club.
The Spaniard has given West Ham's midfield a new dimension in the middle of the park and it is no surprise to see the Premier League side considering a permanent move for the 27-year-old.
