Juventus are cheekily attempting to secure West Ham United striker Niclas Füllkrug on the cheap.
The Irons’ summer signing from Borussia Dortmund has struggled to adapt to life in England, a situation worsened by a three-month injury soon after his arrival. West Ham have acknowledged Füllkrug’s homesickness and his preference to return to Germany, making Juventus’s interest in Serie A appear unexpected. However, the striker is reportedly open to discussing a move with the Italian giants, who have now made an approach.
Fullkrug has just started to look like the player West Ham thought they we signing in the Summer transfer window. Despite the teams appalling showing against Manchester City last weekend, the big German striker capped off a good individual performance with a goal.
When Claret and Hugh contacted a senior source at London Stadium earlier today, it was confirmed that West Ham had received ‘interest’ in a summer signing, though only on a loan basis. All signs point to Juventus’s bid being a loan deal, which the Hammers are likely to reject unless it includes a substantial loan fee.
Yes very funny. We sign him and he gets injured so we’re without him for half a season then just when he comes back from injury and starts scoring goals we’re going to loan him to Juventus. Yes nice one. Very funny indeed.
We buy this expensive old flop, loan him and sell him on the cheap.
Yet we won’t use buy out clauses for decent managers?
It’s like a gerbil on a hamster wheel which this club
Any truth in Kieran Tierney from Arsenal ?
According to 442 we’ve agreed a deal with Arsenal for Kieran Tierney but all the talk elsewhere is of a move to Celtic.
What a effing club, clown’s playing centre back and centre forward and we go after a crocked full back! Not discounting a coach who’s grasp of football tactics is to play right sided player’s on the left and wonder why they’re not as effective and left sided player’s on the bench! Somebody shoot me, please!
Homesick but open to a move to Italy.
