West Ham United striker Niclas Fullkrug has been linked with a move away from the East London club in recent months.
Niclas Fullkrug has struggled since the move to the Premier League, and his performances have been mediocre. He has endured several injury problems as well. Bundesliga club Werder Bremen are now hoping to secure his services in the coming months.
According to a report from Football Insider, the German outfit are exploring three ways to sign the disgruntled West Ham United striker, who cost the East London club £27 million striker when he arrived from Borussia Dortmund last year.
Werder Bremen could decide to loan Fullkrug, sign him on loan with an option to buy, or sign him permanently straight away. It will be interesting to see what they decide. The 32-year-old needs a fresh start, and leaving the East London club would be ideal for him. Recent reports have claimed that they are ready to cash in on him.
Meanwhile, the Hammers will need to bring in a quality striker as well. They have struggled to find the back of the net consistently, and signing a reliable striker could make a huge difference for them. West Ham finished in the bottom half of the league table last season, and they are currently fighting relegation.
The East London outfit need to improve the team in order to finish in an acceptable position. It remains to be seen whether they can find a proper alternative to Fullkrug. The German striker has previously shown his quality in the Bundesliga, and there is no doubt that he has the ability to do well for Werder Bremen.
Joining the right team might bring out the best in him. The 32-year-old is still very much at the peak of his career, and he will look to get back to his best. At West Ham, he has not been able to win the trust of the manager or adapt to English football properly. It would be ideal for him to take on a new challenge now.
It will be interesting to see if West Ham can get rid of the experienced German striker permanently and bring in a quality alternative. It could prove to be defining for them in the context of their survival.
