West Ham’s Edson Álvarez set for Real Sociedad loan as Köln miss out
1. FC Köln appears to have missed out on the signing of Edson Alvarez from West Ham.

According to Marca, the Mexico international is close to joining Real Sociedad on loan for the upcoming season.
The Billy Goats were heavily linked with a move for Álvarez earlier this summer, but a deal is likely to have proven too expensive for the Bundesliga club.
Reports have suggested that Köln are still looking to sign a defensive midfielder and a right winger before the transfer window closes.
The potential departure of El Mala to RB Leipzig for up to €60 million could provide Köln with the funds needed to reinforce those positions.
