Football rumours: West Ham looking to clear ranks to fund Carlos Soler move

Football rumours: West Ham looking to clear ranks to fund Carlos Soler move

What the papers say

West Ham’s reported interest in Paris St Germain midfielder Carlos Soler could be hamstrung without selling players. According to The Guardian, early talks have been held over a move for Soler, who is valued at about £20million. However, West Ham have already spent more than £100m on first-team signings, and they are hoping to ease the pressure on any further expenditure.

Manchester United are said to be closing in on a deal to sign PSG midfielder Manuel Ugarte, but the Daily Mirror reports the 23-year-old’s valuation of £51m continues to be a sticking point, with the French club refusing to lower their price tag.

The Mirror also says Arsenal have agreed to sell forward Charlie Patino to Spanish club Deportivo La Coruna, however personal terms still need to be agreed.
