West Ham United are on the verge of announcing another signing after a very busy few days for the Premier League club.

They jumped into action last week for multiple signings and Tim Steidten and his team still appear to be in negotiations for several players across European leagues.

Earlier in the window they were more focused on the South America market, and have since turned their attention to closer to home.

West Ham’s latest signing is set to be Niclas Füllkrug, and Sky Deutschland’s Patrick Berger says the striker has now signed his contract with the London club.
Borussia Dortmund are set to receive around €30m for the 31-year-old, after the Germany international went through his medical checks with West Ham on Sunday.
Niclas Füllkrug will receive a contract until 2028. Reports in Germany have stated the length of the deal was an important factor in the player deciding to leave BVB this summer.

Being in the autumn of his career, a four year deal is welcomed.

West Ham United to pay Niclas Fullkrug £20m, want deal done today

Niclas Fullkrug is set to receive around £100,000 per week across his three-year West Ham United deal, according to Sean Whetstone.

The well-renowned Hammers writer shared the update via his West Ham Football account on X [5 August] ahead of the Borussia Dortmund striker’s move to London.

Fullkrug’s deal, which is worth £20million in total, is an initial three-year stint with an option for West Ham to extend if they desire to do so.

Former Real Betis man Guido Rodriguez is also set to confirm his Hammers switch on Monday (5 August), with the Argentina international earning around £40,000 per week.

Niclas Fullkrug could propel West Ham United up the Premier League

Although it’s been said many times before, the Hammers could finally solve their striker issue with the addition of Fullkrug.

The number nine is a proven goal-scorer and will no doubt increase West Ham’s chances of improving their Premier League standing this season.

There have been a plethora of strikers linked to the club, such as Jhon Duran, Tammy Abraham and Dominic Calvert-Lewin [Joe Thomas, 29 July].

However, it’s the German who has seemingly triumphed and managed to have his services acquired by Lopetegui.

Whilst his addition alone wouldn’t guarantee the Hammers a better chance in the Premier League, the fact that the likes of Crysencio Summerville and Max Kilman have also been added to bolster the Hammers’ squad showcases how serious the club are about their chase for European football this term.
