Michael Bridge has shared “the best news” for West Ham United when it comes to the club’s interest in Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Fullkrug.
Speaking on Sky Sports News on Tuesday (30 July, 17:23), the journalist reported that the striker is open to a move to London Stadium.
The Hammers have identified bringing in a new striker as a top priority before the 30 August cut-off, and to date have been frustrated in their pursuit of Aston Villa forward Jhon Duran [Sky Sports, 30 July].
Bridge said: “West Ham are discussing the conditions of a deal here. What we do know is that West Ham really want a striker.
“Julen Lopetegui wants this new striker for the new season. Now [Fullkrug] is open to the move, which is always the best news for fans.
“Personal terms are not expected to be an issue. We know West Ham want that striker in before the season starts.”
