London club West Ham are struggling and Julen Lopetegui’s job as manager is hanging by a thread. – Solid acquisitions this summer, including Maximilian Kilman, Crysencio Summerville, Niclas Füllkrug, Luis Guilherme and Aaron Wan-Bissaka, along with putting in place a solid manager, laid the foundation for this year’s season.
They finished 9th last season and after 15 games into this season, West Ham are in 14th place. – Monday’s game against Bournemouth at the Vitality Stadium is also considered a game of fate for Julen Lopetegui.
One who has delivered so far is Niclas Füllkrug, who scored two goals for his Germany during the European Championship on home soil last summer. The German then packed his bags and moved to West Ham and the Premier League. But it has not been a success at all for the striker, who has been on the sidelines with injuries.
It wasn’t until the beginning of December that Niclas Füllkrug got his first goal for West Ham.
Italian outlet Calciomercato writes that Juventus are interested in signing the striker on loan in January.
According to the Italian side, Füllkrug has been offered the Serie A giant, who is said to be positive about a loan with an option to buy.
However, the German cannot count on any ordinary shirt at Juventus, but according to Bild, he is meant to be a back-up to striker Dusan Vlahovic.
It remains to be seen how short the stay in London will be for the German, but according to Bild, he himself is working towards a move already in the upcoming transfer window.
Niklas Füllkrug joined “The Hammers” from Dortmund, where he scored twelve goals and eight assists in 31 Bundesliga games last season. His contract with West Ham runs until 2028.
