Bundesliga ace completes West Ham medical ahead of move to the London Stadium
German striker Niclas Fullkrug has completed
his West Ham medical ahead of his imminent
move to the London stadium from Borussia
Dortmund according to Fabrizio Romano.
It’s a new era for Hammers with Julen Lopetegui
the new man in charge following the departure
of David Moyes at the end of last season.
West Ham have made a number of signings as
they look to strengthen their squad having
missed out on European football with a ninth
placed finish last season.

Along with wingers Luis Guilherme and
Crysencio Summerville, the Hammers have also
added goalie Wes Federingham and centre back
Max Kilman. West Ham is rumoured to be
looking for a centre forward. After seeing Aston
Villa reject their approach for Jhon Duran, they
turned their focus to Fullkrug, who is almost
certain to complete his move to the Premier
League. According to Romano, the 31-year-old
will sign his deal on Monday after finishing his
medical. He posted on X.com, saying: “Niclas
Füllkrug has finished the medical testing that
West Ham required! Deal verified. It’s time to
make the deal official after the contract signing
on Monday. Deal is good through June 2027, with
a 2028 option. West Ham are said to be paying
Dortmund in the region of £27m for the striker
and will be hoping the German can solve some of
their goalscoring issues. The Hammers relied
heavily on Jarrod Bowen’s goals last season,
whilst Michail Antonio isn’t a prolific goalscorer
and the club will be hoping Fullkrug can make
an impact. Fullkrug only joined Dortmund from
Werder Bremen last summer, but he’s on the
move once again after scoring 15 goals and
providing ten assists in 43 appearances last
season. The striker also has a great record at
international level with 13 goals in 21 caps for
the German national team, and he scored twice
in five games at Euro 2024.
