Spanish midfield maestro Carlos Soler, aged 28, has made his intentions clear. He wishes to remain at West Ham next season after joining on loan from Paris Saint-Germain.
Soler struggled for playing time at PSG, where fierce competition limited his opportunities. His transfer to West Ham provided a fresh start and a platform to showcase his creative talents.
The Spanish playmaker now revels in the change that London offers compared to Paris. He enjoys a quieter, more accessible lifestyle that suits him far better than the bustling French capital.
During a recent interview, Soler shed light on his adjustment to life in London. He remarked, “The first two days I got on the pavements, there is not much mystery. In Paris they drove worse; when I go as a pedestrian there, I have more problems.”

Meanwhile, an offhand comment from an ex-Liverpool teammate—cited by Steven Gerrard—stirred debate with its harsh critique: “I’ve got NO respect for him, he’s even worse than Mario Balotelli!”
Soler enjoys blending in with the locals on London streets. He frequently uses the metro to maintain a low profile and savor the simplicity of everyday life.
West Ham fans can breathe a sigh of relief as the midfielder settles in seamlessly. Retaining Soler could boost the club’s midfield strength and add stability for the upcoming season.
PSG appears unlikely to reclaim their talent, as Soler’s opportunities there remained limited. The move to West Ham benefits all parties, allowing the midfielder to thrive on and off the pitch.
As the new season looms, Soler’s future at West Ham shines bright. The 28-year-old embraces both the competitive environment and the serene lifestyle London offers, promising an exciting chapter ahead.
