The Spanish midfielder joined West Ham on loan from PSG in the summer of 2024. Due to his relatively recent arrival, many fans were still unfamiliar with him—so much so that they failed to recognize him when he took the London Underground to a match alongside them.

"I was suspended for the game against Brighton and I travelled to Stratford via train. I went with a lot of West Ham fans but they didn't recognise me. I was with them like a fan and I enjoyed it," Soler revealed.

The Spaniard admitted that he likes being unnoticed by fans, as it allows him to experience the game as a regular supporter. However, he emphasized that he has no problem taking photos with fans and always does so with pleasure.

So far this season in the Premier League, Soler has made 18 appearances for West Ham, registering one goal and one assist.
