West Ham United striker Niclas Fullkrug has been linked with a move away from the East London club in recent weeks.
AC Milan have been mentioned as a potential destination for Niclas Fullkrug, and a loan move is reportedly close. According to an update on Sky Sports, West Ham will let the player leave on loan for the remainder of the season, and AC Milan will have an option to buy him permanently in the summer transfer window.
The German striker needs a fresh start, and moving away from West Ham would be ideal for him. The 32-year-old needs to play regularly once again, and he should look to leave the London club to regain his form and confidence.
The move to the Premier League has not worked out for him. Fullkrug has struggled to perform at the desired level, and he has had his fair share of injury problems as well. A fresh start would be ideal for him.
The opportunity move to Italy could be perfect at this stage of his career. The experienced striker has shown his quality in Germany with Borussia Dortmund, and there is no doubt that he has the quality to do well in Italy as well. Widespread reports have suggested that personal terms are not an issue for the player.
West Ham need an upgrade on Fullkrug
West Ham paid £27.5 million to sign Niclas Fullkrug, and they would have expected him to leave the line for them successfully. That has not worked out, and it will be interesting to see if they can bring in a quality replacement next month. The Hammers are currently fighting for survival in the Premier League, and they need a reliable striker who can find the back of the net regularly.
Signing the right players could help them stay up in the Premier League. They will need to get rid of the underperforming players as well. It is no surprise that they are prepared to get rid of the German international. It will be interesting to see if the two parties can work out a deal that benefits them both.
AC Milan will need more quality and depth in the attacking unit, and the experienced German could be a useful player for them. If the German international manages to impress in Italy, he might be able to secure a permanent move in future.
