West Ham has reached an agreement for a transfer fee of £27m to acquire German striker Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund.

The 31-year-old netted 15 goals across 46 matches during his inaugural season with the Bundesliga side, where he was a finalist in the Champions League, having joined from Werder Bremen last summer in a deal worth £12.6m.

Fullkrug contributed two goals to Germany’s journey to the quarter-finals in Euro 2024, despite not being in the starting lineup.

The Hammers are actively seeking a striker and have also been in discussions regarding Aston Villa’s Colombian forward Jhon Duran.

New manager Julen Lopetegui has already secured Wolves’ captain Max Kilman for £40m, along with goalkeeper Wes Foderingham from Sheffield United and Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme for £25.5m from Palmeiras.

Additionally, West Ham is keen on acquiring full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United and Leeds United’s Dutch forward Crysencio Summerville.
