A West Ham club source has denied reports that Niclas Fullkrug will need an operation to resolve his injury woes insisting it is too early to make that medical diagnosis.
However, the same source has admitted for the first time that the German striker has not settled in the UK as yet, which will fuel rumours that he could return to Germany this January at a loss from the £27m fee paid to Borussia Dortmund in instalments.
West Ham’s technical director Tim Steidten pushed hard for Fullkrug over the summer insisting he was a model professional and a real grafter, but the 31-year-old hasn’t been able to demonstrate that after he picked up an achilles injury while on International duty with Germany several months ago.
The top Hammers source speaking Exclusively to Claret and Hugh on Saturday morning has said the next few weeks will be crucial adding “He hasn’t settled in the UK. Let’s see what happens in the next few weeks”
