West Ham in Carlos Soler loan talks amid James Ward-Prowse exit interest

West Ham are progressing in talks with Paris Saint-Germain over a loan deal for midfielder Carlos Soler .

The 27-year-old has been told he can leave the French club before Friday’s deadline and the Hammers want to make him their ninth summer signing.

A loan deal is looking most likely and talks are ongoing about possible future options to make the move permanent.

Soler’s arrival allows James Ward-Prowse to leave. The midfielder is set to undergo a medical with Nottingham Forest after agreeing a straight loan deal with the Hammers.
