West Ham United striker Niclas Fullkrug wants to leave the club in January, according to journalist Patrick Berger.
The Hammers signed the forward from Borussia Dortmund in 2024 on a four-year deal.
However, injuries limited Fullkrug to 20 appearances for the Hammers last term and his representative recently claimed that it would be in the best interest of both parties if he were to leave.
West Ham have now been informed the German wants to leave when the transfer window reopens.
Fullkrug would like to return to the Bundesliga, but he is open to moving to another league.
He wants to play regularly as he eyes a spot in Germany’s World Cup squad for next summer.
Fullkrug has been unavailable for selection since West Ham played Arsenal, missing the last three games due to injury.
However, he is set to be available when the Hammers take on Burnley on Saturday before the international break.
West Ham secured a 3-1 victory over Newcastle United last time out, their first home victory in the Premier League since beating Leicester City in February.
Hammers manager Nuno Espirito Santo will be desperate for back-to-back wins ahead of the break, and he is likely to call on Fullkrug, as he is now fully fit.
He has played seven times across all competitions this term but has yet to score or assist.
The German scored three times and assisted two goals last term, and West Ham will be more than willing to let him go if they can sign a replacement.
