Callum Marshall faces West Ham exit in January as German club leads race for deal

Several teams domestically and in Europe have made an approach to take the 21-year-old temporarily in January.
Niclas Fullkrug already seems to be on his way out of the London Stadium, and the Hammers could be about to sanction the exit of another centre-forward.

With a quality striker arguably desperately needed at the London Stadium, someone who’s scored seven goals in 18 appearances in Czech Republic’s top flight, won’t fill the Irons’ supporters with much encouragement.
It doesn’t look like David Sullivan and the rest of the East London club’s hierarchy are bothered about the prospect of going down to the Championship, considering what they’ve done in recent years.
