German international Niclas Füllkrug, 32, who has had a difficult period at West Ham United since his arrival in the summer of 2024, would prefer to make a move in the winter. A loan to the Bundesliga is considered a logical step for the striker, but to maintain his chances of participating in the World Cup, he must anticipate a reduction in salary. A return to Werder Bremen, the club where he was trained and became the Bundesliga's top scorer in 2023, is considered a potential option. Werder is currently not satisfied with their loan player Victor Boniface in the central attacking position, who appears unfit, suggesting Füllkrug would likely be an immediate starter. The centre-forward has made 6 appearances in the Premier League this season and has earned 24 caps for Germany, scoring 14 goals. His contract with the English club runs until 2028, and his current market value is estimated by Transfermarkt to be €10.00m.
