Niclas Fullkrug January transfer exit update shared at West Ham United

West Ham currently have no plans to get rid of Niclas Fullkrug ahead of the January transfer window, according to Suddeutsche Zeitung.

The German outlet reported [12 November] that the Hammers are backing their new striker signing despite only making four appearances in all competitions since arriving on a £27million last summer [BBC Sport].

Fullkrug has been sidelined since September, having sustained an Achilles tendon injury during the September international break, with frustrations growing among the fanbase since.

West Ham United to stick or twist with Niclas Fullkrug?
