“Have to Give Him Away” West Ham Transfer Flop Set For Exit As Brutal Verdict Emerges

Sky Sports Germany are reporting what Claret & Hugh told you last month: West Ham United’s on-loan striker Niclas Füllkrug will not be welcome back at the club.

The German international is currently playing in Serie A whilst on loan to AC Milan and, suffice to say, he has proven to be something of a flop in Italy.

West Ham ready to cut losses

Milan will not be looking to take up their option to buy Füllkrug at the end of the season, despite having an agreed purchase price of just €5 million.

Now Sky are reporting that West Ham will be willing to let him go for a nominal fee, which would represent a huge loss on a player who cost the Hammers over €25 million from Borussia Dortmund.

Club source hints at uncertain future

Claret & Hugh’s Sean Whetstone spoke to a top source at the club last week, who said of Füllkrug’s possible return: “We’ll have to see which division we’re in.”

When we spoke to an agent who has been briefed on Füllkrug’s position, we were informed: “He’s been a terrible transfer. They’ll have to give him away to get him off the books.”

Dressing room morale claim emerges

There is little or no appetite at West Ham for the player to return. In fact, his exit has been cited as one of a number of reasons why West Ham’s morale and team spirit have been so good since the January window.

Certainly, if coach Nuno Espírito Santo stays in East London, there will be no role for Füllkrug in West Ham’s future.
