West Ham have held talks with Borussia Dortmund to sign Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug.

The 31-year-old scored twice at Euro 2024 during the hosts' run to the quarter-finals and is among the options being targeted by Hammers boss Julen Lopetegui.

West Ham are keen to add more firepower to their attack and are in negotiations for multiple players, including Aston Villa's Colombia forward Jhon Duran.

Fullkrug scored 16 goals in 46 appearances for Dortmund last season after moving from Werder Bremen in a £12.6m deal and helped the club reach the Champions League final where they lost to Real Madrid.

The Hammers are also interested in signing full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United.

They signed Wolves captain Max Kilman for £40m last month, and goalkeeper Wes Foderingham and Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme have also joined the club this summer.
