West Ham could make a strong argument that they have won this summer’s transfer window.
The Hammers have done some really smart business in this window.
Crysencio Summerville has been tipped as the Signing of the Season, Jean-Clair Todibo is a fantastic addition, and Max Kilman already looks at home in a West Ham shirt.
However, the Hammers’ big summer of incomings may not be over yet.
Indeed, West Ham may have one more trick up their sleeve.
Carlos Soler has been linked to West Ham in recent times, and according to Duncan Castles, speaking on The Transfers Podcast, the Hammers are close to convincing Soler to make this move.

Castles shared what he knows about the £17m man.
“They are quite a way down on convincing Carlos Soler to give up living down the road from le Arc de Triomphe to playing in West Ham’s big windy bowl in east London, which is a remarkable achievement as well,” Castles said.
“Julen Lopetegui has been a big part of that having called the Spain international directly and sold him and his girlfriend on moving to London.”
Carlos Soler would be the icing on the cake
This has been a remarkable transfer window from West Ham, and landing Soler just before the deadline would be the icing on the cake for the London club.
Soler is top talent, hence why he plays for PSG, and Julen Lopetegui will be well aware of him from his time in charge of the Spanish national team.
West Ham already have some fantastic midfield options, but Soler would just add that extra quality and depth that a team pushing for a European place really needs.
It’s certainly an exciting period for West Ham, and this transfer window could end up being one that goes down in history.
