ExWHUEmployee has stated that West Ham United are exploring the possibility of signing Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Fullkrug as they seek to bolster their attacking options.
With the club facing difficulties in their pursuit of Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran, their attention has turned to the German international. Fullkrug’s impressive performances, including his contributions at Euro 2024, have caught the eye of West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui.
The Hammers have initiated talks with Dortmund to discuss the potential transfer of the 31-year-old forward. Fullkrug himself is reportedly open to the move, with personal terms not expected to be an obstacle.
Fullkrug has entered the final two years of his contract. He scored 15 goals in 43 appearances last season, with three coming in the Champions League as Dortmund reached the final.
The 31-year-old’s form led to a call-up for Germany’s Euro 2024 squad and he netted twice in five appearances during the tournament.
As the transfer window enters its final stages, West Ham are working diligently to strengthen their squad and compete at the highest level in the upcoming Premier League season.
Fullkrug + Elya Wahl forget Duran.
Job done
Suggestion of buying 2 strikers thought 1 has proved difficult.
If he was signed as a second striker plus a young speedster it would make sense.
What happened to buying young player with talent. SULLIVAN again,
We were told by SULLIVAN the dithering & scatter gun approach was all down to Moyes. Does the board think we are stupid.
Striker saga,is that the age he has to be to sign?
When we have one the of the eldest squads in the league, desperate for pace, the solution to the striker saga is a 31 year old, who isn’t exactly prolific is he? We may as well just have given Muamba a decent salary and kept with Antonio and Ings.
At what point does JL turn round and ask Tim if he actually knows what he’s doing?
A nice young , up and coming striker in line with the strategy . We are avin a laugh pleading poverty belive me we have the money for transfers .
Anyone can spend money now, the problem comes when you don’t balance the books and have points deducted later. Ask Everton and Forest.
the asking price £39 million ha ha ha
Thought to be about £13M, not £39M
Dortmund paid €13 for him (plus 2m in add ons) in 2023, so I understand.. If we could get him at £13, that would be a decent bit of business. But any higher would raise question marks due to his age and lack of resale value. Doesn’t have the scope of potential of Duran, but will lead the line and score some goals, for sure.
Did Moyes leave the scatter gun in the changing room when he left??
Quality rich I applauded you fella 👍👍
The scatter gun was never used by Moyes, it has always been Sullivan using it!
31 FFS, just pay what villa asked for for a 20year old who has played prem football, at least if he as expected does well then will sell for a profit if that time comes
Or a 30 year old proven regular international for less money with a better attitude
I’ll believe this one when we see him photographed in the shirt.
Really – another Ings?
are you joking?! 😒 lazy remark
