West Ham are close to an agreement with Borussia Dortmund to sign forward Niclas Fullkrug.
Final details on the deal are being sorted between the clubs, notably on the structure of the fee. Elements of the player's personal terms are also being finalised. There's now growing optimism a deal can be struck for the Germany international after West Ham were unable to find an agreement with Aston Villa for striker Jhon Duran. Interest in the Colombian striker remains, but - as it stands - there is a big gap in valuation.
The 31-year-old's form led to a call-up for Germany's Euro 2024 squad and he netted twice in five appearances during the tournament. West Ham are also interested in Villarreal forward Alexander Sorloth, who finished second in the race for the LaLiga golden boot last season - one goal behind Girona's Artme Dovbyk. Sorloth, 28, netted 23 times in the league and scored three more in the Europa League.
