Exclusive: Wolves and Fulham Eye Move for Out-of-Favour West Ham Striker Niclas Füllkrug in Cut-Price January Deal

Wolves and Fulham have expressed an interest in signing out-of-favour West Ham striker Niclas Füllkrug, SportsBoom can exclusively reveal. This type of exclusive transfer news is swiftly integrated into the markets of new betting sites UK, as they compete to offer odds on potential January moves.

The experienced German international has scored just three goals in 24 games for the club since joining from Borussia Dortmund in August 2024.

And our sources have now learnt that the Hammers are more than happy to offload the player in a cut-price deal when the January transfer window opens.

A loan deal as well as a potential permanent move is one the table, but the only stumbling block could be Fullkrug’s hefty £100,000-a-week wages.

He signed for the Hammers in a high-profile £27million deal just under 18 months ago but has failed to hit the lofty heights expected of him.

Last season he scored three goals in 18 league games but this season has failed to scored having struggled to cement a regular starting role, not helped with Graham Potter having been sacked this season and new boss Nuno Espirito Santo having taken over with the domestic campaign still in its infancy.

Wolves already have the German forward on their shortlist for the upcoming transfer window, but the final decision may hinge on who takes charge following the recent sacking of Vítor Pereira. Former Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou has been linked with the role, though Middlesbrough manager Rob Edwards is understood to be the current favourite.

PLENTY TO OFFER

At 32, the 24-cap international still has plenty to offer, and both clubs believe he would bolster their strike force. The evolving dynamics of this potential deal, including the likelihood of a loan versus a permanent transfer, are being closely monitored by fans on leading gambling apps UK, which offer constantly updated specials on player transfers.

A fee in the region of £18-22million has been muted for the former Werder Bremen marksman, although both Wolves and Fulham are looking to pay less given he his surplus to requirements at the London Stadium.

West Ham are keen to sign a new striker themselves having only recruited one recognised striker, former Newcastle United hitman Callum Wilson, in the summer transfer window.

And if the East London outfit can sell Fullkrug then they would have cash to help fund a move for a new centre-forward when the transfer window re-open in little under two months’ time.
