Niclas Fullkrug has attracted West Ham’s interest as the club initiates discussions with Borussia Dortmund about his potential signing. The 31-year-old made a notable impact at Euro 2024, scoring twice during Germany’s journey to the quarter-finals. Fullkrug is a key target for West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui, who is focused on strengthening the team’s attacking capabilities.

As the Hammers aim to enhance their offensive lineup, they view Niclas Fullkrug as a pivotal addition to their squad. West Ham’s strategy includes adding significant firepower to their squad. Besides Fullkrug, they are also negotiating for Aston Villa’s Colombian forward Jhon Duran. Fullkrug, who moved to Dortmund from Werder Bremen in a £12.6 million transfer last season, scored 16 goals in 46 appearances for the club.

He played a crucial role in Dortmund’s campaign, which saw them reach the Champions League final where they ultimately fell to Real Madrid. Additionally, West Ham have expressed interest in acquiring full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United. This move aligns with their broader efforts to enhance their squad depth and quality.

In recent transfer activities, West Ham signed Wolves captain Max Kilman for £40 million. They also welcomed goalkeeper Wes Foderingham and Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme to the club this summer, reflecting their commitment to strengthening the team ahead of the new season.
