West Ham United has signed Spanish midfielder Carlos Soler from Paris Saint-Germain on a season-long loan, making him their ninth acquisition of the summer transfer window. Soler expressed his excitement about joining the Premier League and playing for West Ham. The signing was facilitated by West Ham offloading several players, including James Ward-Prowse to Nottingham Forest and Nayef Aguerd to Real Sociedad, to make room and raise funds. This move reflects new manager Julen Lopetegui's strategy to enhance the team's midfield creativity and defensive solidity. Other notable transfers include the arrivals of Guido Rodriguez and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, and the departures of Kurt Zouma and Maxwel Cornet.
