West Ham regret signing Füllkrug. Lopetegui wants a new striker in winter

The high-profile and costly signing of Borussia Dortmund forward Niclas Füllkrug by West Ham initially raised eyebrows, as the player was considered a strong addition to the squad. However, the initial optimism has quickly faded.

Details: According to teamTALK, West Ham manager Julen Lopetegui is dissatisfied with Füllkrug’s physical condition, forcing him to rely on Michail Antonio. However, the 34-year-old striker is also going through a rough patch, prompting Lopetegui to pressure the club’s management to sign a new forward during the January transfer window.

Reminder: West Ham shelled out £27 million for Füllkrug during the summer transfer window. The German has played just 63 minutes across three Premier League matches before injuring his Achilles tendon in mid-September, sidelining him indefinitely.
