Niclas Füllkrug moves closer to returning to Werder Bremen from West Ham
Summary

Niclas Füllkrug's return to Werder Bremen is becoming increasingly likely as West Ham United softens its transfer stance. Initially seeking a fee for the striker, West Ham may now let Füllkrug go without a transfer fee, despite him having two years left on his contract. Füllkrug is reportedly willing to accept a lower salary to facilitate the move. Following a challenging stint in England, where he scored just three goals in 29 appearances, a transfer back to Bremen could offer him more playing time and a chance to reignite his career. Werder Bremen is actively seeking a specialist centre-forward to strengthen their squad ahead of the new season.
