6ft4in Canadian hitman eyed as Fullkrug replacement after Champions League heroics
West Ham United are leading the chase to sign Promise David, the towering Union Saint-Gilloise striker who’s rapidly emerging as one of Europe’s most intriguing forwards. According to TEAMtalk, the Hammers have already made contact over a January deal — and are ready to act if Niclas Füllkrug is moved on according to the report.
Standing at 6ft4in, the 24-year-old Canadian has been dubbed “the monster” by teammates — and with good reason. He’s physical, relentless, and a natural finisher. His stunning Champions League winner against Galatasaray this week didn’t just secure USG a vital win — it put half the Premier League on alert.
West Ham are now in pole position according to the football transfer website and prepared to reinvest any funds from Füllkrug’s potential sale into a younger, hungrier striker. Nuno Espírito Santo wants a new centre forward an Fullkrug put in a display against Bournemouth which suggested he’d rather be anywhere but East London.
Niclas Fullkrug no longer wants to play for West Ham
From Toronto reject to Belgian powerhouse
Promise David’s journey is one of redemption. Released by Toronto FC’s academy, he rebuilt his career in Estonia with Nõmme Kalju, before exploding onto the Belgian scene with USG. He scored 24 goals in his debut season, helping his side end a 90-year title drought, and has already bagged another eight this term, despite starting fewer games.
His blend of size, athleticism and raw hunger has had multiple teams drooling at the prospect of signing him if the column inches are to be believed.
With interest from Wolves and Leeds United, West Ham are being urges to act quickly with the report stating the hammers have already made initial contact.
Just one more rumour… but a daft one. Fullkrug was never rhe right choice so replacing him would be idiotic. And we already tried another big, slow forward in Evan Ferguson, who barely got a game. It’s a younger Callum Wilson that we want.
Apparently Wolves are in pole position to sign him.
Just go and get him ,they say about money amd wages but Rodriguez, JWP,Irvine look like they will be gone in jan(hopefully) so that should save 200 +grand a week wages .
Making contact and getting cheque book out are two different platforms.
If there’s that much interest whu have not chance with their snail pace momentum (convincing Sullivan).
The way article reads it’s a no go if Fullkrug doesn’t move on.
Result no new striker recruitment.
