West Ham have agreed a fee worth £27m to sign Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund.
The 31-year-old scored 15 goals in 46 appearances in his debut season for the Bundesliga club, in which he finished as a runner-up in the Champions League, after moving from Werder Bremen in a £12.6m deal last summer.
Fullkrug also scored two goals in hosts Germany’s run to the quarter-finals at Euro 2024 despite not starting a game.
The Hammers are in the market for a striker and have also held negotiations for Aston Villa‘s Colombia forward Jhon Duran.
New boss Julen Lopetegui has already signed Wolves captain Max Kilman for £40m, goalkeeper Wes Foderingham from Sheffield United and Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme for £25.5 from Palmeiras.
The Hammers are also interested in signing full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United and Leeds United’s Dutch forward Crysencio Summerville.
