West Ham need to sign a new striker in the summer transfer window.
They have been heavily reliant on Michail Antonio over the years, but he is approaching the latter stages of his career and could be sold in the summer.
West Ham have Danny Ings on their ranks, and while he could rediscover his mojo under Julen Lopetegui, the former Aston Villa striker has failed to show his quality for the Hammers.
David Moyes often used Jarrod Bowen as a striker but Lopetegui needs a genuine number nine ahead of next season.
West Ham have signed Brazilian sensational Luis Guilherme. He can play as a striker, but the Spanish boss will probably use him in attacking wide areas.
The Hammers have been heavily linked with a host of strikers already this summer, and now a new name has emerged.
West Ham interested in signing Niclas Fullkrug
According to Sky Sports journalist, Dharmesh Sheth, West Ham are showing keen interest in Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Fullkrug.
The 21-time capped German international has two years left on his current deal at Dortmund, but he could be a cheaper option than any targets.
West Ham are interested in signing Aston Villa striker Jhon Duran, and but they have yet to reach an agreement with their Premier League rivals.
Villa have rejected two bids from West Ham for the player, as the gap still exists between the player’s asking price and the amount West Ham are ready to pay for.
West Ham are also keen to sign Villarreal striker Alexander Sorloth.
Sheth wrote on X: “Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Fullkrug has emerged as a potential target for West Ham United.
“Germany international into final 2 years of contract. Interest retained in Aston Villa’s Jhon Duran – but gap in valuation – & Villarreal’s Alexander Sorloth.”
Fullkrug is a vastly experienced striker. He joined Dortmund from Werder Bremen last season and scored 15 goals in his debut season. He scored 46 goals in 99 games from Bremen and also played for Hannover among others.
He has spent all his playing career in Germany and scored 122 goals for multiple clubs. Fullkrug has also scored 13 goals for Germany.
