West Ham have initiated talks with Borussia Dortmund to sign German striker Niclas Fullkrug.

The 31-year-old, who scored twice at Euro 2024 during Germany’s run to the quarter-finals, is one of the targets for Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui.

West Ham are looking to bolster their attack and are in discussions for several players, including Aston Villa’s Colombian forward Jhon Duran.

Fullkrug netted 16 goals in 46 appearances for Dortmund last season, having joined from Werder Bremen in a £12.6m deal. He also played a key role in Dortmund reaching the Champions League final, where they were defeated by Real Madrid.

The Hammers are also interested in acquiring full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United.

Last month, West Ham signed Wolves captain Max Kilman for £40m, and this summer, they have also added goalkeeper Wes Foderingham and Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme to their squad.
