Niclas Füllkrug’s brief spell at West Ham United appears to be nearing its conclusion, with sources indicating that the striker is expected to leave the club in the upcoming January transfer window. Initial discussions have reportedly begun with several German clubs, while interest from outside the Bundesliga has also emerged.

Füllkrug arrived at West Ham with high expectations following an impressive run of form in Germany, where he established himself as a consistent scorer and a key figure for both Werder Bremen and the national team. However, his move to the Premier League has not delivered the impact either side had hoped for. Limited game time, inconsistency, and a system that didn’t fully complement his strengths have resulted in a difficult adaptation period for the 31-year-old.

As a result, West Ham are now open to facilitating his departure, allowing both the player and the club to move forward. Füllkrug, who is keen to revive his form ahead of a crucial stage in his career, is evaluating options in Germany, where several teams view him as a reliable, experienced forward capable of adding immediate value.

Talks are still at an early stage, and no concrete offer has been tabled yet. Interest from clubs outside Germany keeps the situation fluid, and more developments are expected in the coming weeks.
