Report: Sky Sports journalist says West Ham want to sign £17m playmaker who plays just like David Silva
Wow...????
West Ham United have enjoyed an impressive summer transfer window so far and they aren’t finished just yet.
Julen Lopetegui has been backed heavily since taking over from David Moyes having outlaid £122m on eight new signings.
Crysencio Summerville has joined from Leeds United, which is perhaps the most exciting addition but they’re keen on signing a PSG player.
West Ham want Carlos Soler
Sky Sports journalist Dharmesh Sheth has just revealed that West Ham United want to sign Carlos Soler.
“West Ham are in the market to recruit a midfielder in the final two weeks of the transfer window,” Sheth said.
“They are interested in Paris Saint Germain’s Carlos Soler.
“PSG understood to be open to selling the 27-year-old.
“The Spaniard made 12 starts in all competitions last season and he has three years left on his contract.”
Carlos Soler profile
Soler, who’s been compared to David Silva (The Guardian), is a progressive midfielder who operates mainly as a number eight, though, he can also ply his trade as a full-back.
As per FBref, the 27-year-old ranks in the top 10 per cent for progressive passes received per 90, evincing his ability to ghost into space.
Further, he sits in the top 10 per cent for expected assisted goals, amplifying his playmaking ability.
If West Ham were to land his signature, it’d be a real statement signing and one that’d take them up a level.
