Niclas Füllkrug Heads to England for Talks Amid West Ham Interest
Borussia Dortmund has just let their striker, Niclas Füllkrug, leave their training camp in Switzerland for discussions with another club. This news comes as Füllkrug has been linked to a move to West Ham, as their new manager, Julen Lopetegui, is searching for a fresh striker.
The 31-year-old player seems to be one step closer to playing in England after departing Dortmund’s training base in Switzerland. A post from Dortmund on social media confirmed that Füllkrug was given the green light to go and talk to other clubs.
Füllkrug had a solid season last year, scoring 12 goals in 29 Bundesliga matches and even represented Germany at Euro 2024. Fans are eager to see if this move will materialize.
On a different note, Dortmund has welcomed the arrival of Yan Couto, who is joining on a season-long loan from Manchester City, with plans for him to stay permanently. The young Brazilian right-back recently spent time loaned out to Girona in La Liga.
Couto shared his excitement on Dortmund’s official site, saying it’s a dream come true for him. He mentioned how every child in Brazil knows about the greatness of Borussia Dortmund and expressed his eagerness to wear the BVB jersey and feel the energy of the fans in their iconic stadium.
