West Ham green light Niclas Fullkrug exit as clubs in agent talks named already
West Ham are set to allow Niclas Fullkrug to leave in the January transfer window after a tough start to the 2025/26 campaign.
The striker is yet to find the net for the Hammers this season in all competitions, despite seven appearances.
As a result, Fullkrug has been heavily linked away from West Ham.
Now, Sky Sports reporter Patrick Berger has confirmed via X on 10 November that the attacker has been granted clearance to leave the London Stadium.
Multiple clubs are believed to be interested, including Wolfsburg and Augsburg.
Augsburg have contacted Niclas Fullkrug’s management over a potential move
Since Nuno Espirito Santo moved to West Ham, Fullkrug has been out of the picture.
The striker has missed the last four games with an injury, with the German continuing to battle injuries.
Instead, Callum Wilson has led the line, impressing for West Ham, with the striker netting in the 3-2 victory over Burnley.
Now, in the aftermath of the result, Nuno is prepared to sanction Fullkrug’s exit as early as January.

Interest is believed to be high in the Bundesliga and Italy, with Augsburg contacting the player’s management over a potential move.
Wolfsburg are also considering a commitment.
Can Callum Wilson lead West Ham’s frontline?
If Fullkrug is let go, Wilson will be the Hammers’ main man up top unless Nuno brings in another striker.
However, this may not be necessary, with Wilson already producing numerous top stats according to Fotmob on 10 November.
| Callum Wilson’s Premier League stats this season | Per 90 minutes |
| Goals | 0.49 |
| xG | 0.52 |
| Shots on target | 1.71 |
| Successful dribbles | 1.47 |
| Fouls won | 1.71 |
| Touches in opposition box | 5.14 |
If the striker can keep this up, there is no reason why he cannot remain in the lineup at least until the end of the season.
This could also save West Ham money on a new attacker whose price would likely be inflated in January compared to the summer.
