West Ham have agreed a fee worth 拢27m to sign Germany striker Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund.
The 31-year-old scored 15 goals in 46 appearances in his debut season for the Bundesliga club, in which he finished as a runner-up in the Champions League, after moving from Werder Bremen in a 拢12.6m deal last summer.
Fullkrug also scored two goals in hosts Germany's run to the quarter-finals at Euro 2024 despite not starting a game.
Dortmund said on Saturday they have allowed Fullkrug to leave their training camp in Switzerland for talks with an unnamed club.
The Hammers are in the market for a striker and have also held negotiations for Aston Villa's Colombia forward Jhon Duran.
New boss Julen Lopetegui has already signed Wolves captain Max Kilman for 拢40m, goalkeeper Wes Foderingham from Sheffield United and Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme for 拢25.5 from Palmeiras.
The Hammers are also interested in signing full-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United and Leeds United's Dutch forward Crysencio Summerville.
