Fullkrug heading for the exit door in January

da aposte e ganhe： Speculation about Fullkrug’s future at West Ham has been building for quite some time, and Sky Sports reporter Florian Plettenberg dropped a major new update this morning, which indicates the striker’s time at the London Stadium is coming to an end.

In truth, losing Fullkrug is unlikely to be much of a blow for Nuno, given that the centre-forward hasn’t contributed with any goals in all competitions this season, with Jarrod Bowen, Callum Wilson and Crysencio Summerville emerging as the preferred options at striker.

However, considering Summerville isn’t a natural striker, it may be a savvy move to bring in another centre-forward in the upcoming transfer window, and West Ham have now made contact over a deal for Wolverhampton Wanderers striker Jorgen Strand Larsen.

That is according to reliable reporter David Ornstein, in a report for the Athletic, which states the Hammers have lodged enquiries about a deal for the £95k-a-week striker, who they are hoping to sign on a permanent basis.

There could be competition for the Norwegian’s signature, with other, unnamed clubs said to be keen, and talks aren’t advanced at this stage, so it remains to be seen whether a deal will be possible.

West Ham may need more firepower to avoid the drop

Only Wolves, Nottingham Forest and Everton have scored fewer goals than the Irons in the Premier League this season, with Nuno’s side most recently struggling from an attacking point of view in the 3-0 loss against Manchester City on Saturday.

West Ham managed to create two big chances in the heavy defeat, but they were squandered by Bowen and Summerville, which suggests it may be worth bringing in a more clinical centre-forward next month.

The Wolves star could be up to the task, given his previous exploits, chipping in with an impressive 14 goals and four assists in 35 Premier League appearances for the Old Gold last season.

This season, the 25-year-old hasn’t been quite as clinical, scoring just once in the league, but he did manage to bag a brace in Wolves’ 3-2 EFL Cup triumph against the Hammers back in August.

Lauded as “phenomenal” by former manager Vitor Pereira, Strand Larsen could be a top signing if he is able to rediscover his previous form, but it would certainly be a gamble for West Ham to bring the Norway international in next month, given his current form.
