Wolfsburg make Fullkrug their priority as striker prepares West Ham exit

Wolfsburg have identified Niclas Fullkrug as their leading target for the summer, with journalist Florian Plettenberg reporting that the club have already held direct conversations with the striker. Any move depends on Wolfsburg securing their Bundesliga status, but internally Fullkrug is viewed as the ideal figure to lead the attack and add authority in the dressing room. West Ham United are open to facilitating his departure and are expected to agree to a relatively modest fee should negotiations progress.

The 33‑year‑old is drawing interest from several markets, including MLS, Italy and Spain, while a return to Werder Bremen also remains a possibility. A move back to Germany would give Wolfsburg a proven Bundesliga goalscorer capable of making an immediate impact. Beyond his finishing ability, Fullkrug’s experience and leadership are seen as key attributes as the club look to stabilise their squad and reinforce their attacking options ahead of next season.
