Milan agree loan deal for Niclas Füllkrug as West Ham look to sign new striker
West Ham interested in Wolves’s Jørgen Strand Larsen

TL;DR
- West Ham has agreed to loan Niclas Füllkrug to Milan with an option to buy.
- Füllkrug has struggled since his £27.5m transfer from Borussia Dortmund in the summer of 2024.
- His departure could fund the signing of a new forward to help West Ham's relegation fight.
- West Ham is interested in Wolves' Jørgen Strand Larsen but reluctant to meet his £40m valuation.
- The club needs reinforcements as they are 18th in the league with six games without a win.
- Callum Wilson is the only senior striker available, with Nuno having limited success using Bowen and Summerville in that role.
- Füllkrug has had injury problems and has not adapted to the Premier League, scoring only three goals in 11 league starts.
- West Ham may also look to offload James Ward-Prowse and Luis Guilherme, and could receive offers for Lucas Paquetá.
- The club is also seeking a new centre-back and could pursue Toulouse's Charlie Cresswell.
