West Ham spent a total of £120 million, excluding the option to buy Soler next summer, with a number of players also leaving the London Stadium in what has been a busy few months.
Many supporters would think the Irons could be done after Soler put pen to paper on his switch to east London, but they could be wrong, as Chelsea attacking midfielder Carney Chukwuemeka is also believed to be on their radar for the 11pm kick-off.
The £100,000-a-week ace, who can also play on the wing, has been heavily linked with a move away from Stamford Bridge throughout the summer, with AC Milan among the top clubs who have shown a keen interest in the past few months. .
West Ham are eyeing a deadline day move for Chukwuemeka
According to The Guardian and reliable reporter Jacob Steinberg, writing on his live blog, West Ham are close to signing Chukwuemeka as they look to make a late move.
Steinberg also writes that Steidten, who led West Ham's transfer business this summer, is a big fan of the 20-year-old and could strengthen Julen Lopetegui's home side.
“Although they have officially agreed to sign Soler on loan with an option to buy, they are in the process of looking for Chelsea's Carney Chukwuemeka,” Steinberg said.
“The Chelsea youngster is desperate for more playing opportunities and a loan move to West Ham would be a great asset to his development.
“It remains to be seen whether West Ham will agree to sign both Soler and Chukwuemeka, who moved to west London from Aston Villa two years ago. Tim Steidten, the club's sporting director, is a big fan of the Chelsea player.
“West Ham is making room for new arrivals by loaning James Ward-Prowse to Nottingham Forest. Nayef Aguerd is interested in many clubs but has rejected Wolves.”
