Summary
- Milan is reportedly preparing a loan deal for Niclas Füllkrug.

- The striker has failed to score in nine appearances this season.
AC Milan is reportedly exploring a loan move for West Ham striker Niclas Füllkrug. The Germany international has struggled significantly since his £27.5 million transfer in the summer of 2024, failing to find the back of the net in nine appearances this season. His current form has led him to be excluded from matchday squads, with West Ham keen to offload him.
Despite the desire to move Füllkrug on permanently, his substantial wages and four-year contract make a transfer complicated. However, a loan deal with AC Milan for the remainder of the season is now considered a viable option. West Ham views Füllkrug's signing as a significant misstep, compounded by his injury problems and struggles to adapt to the Premier League.
West Ham, currently sitting 18th in the league, is looking to bring in a new striker and potentially a centre-back. They are tracking Norwich's Josh Sargent but have not advanced their interest. The club may also look to offload players like James Ward-Prowse and Luis Guilherme to increase their transfer budget.
