Atletico Madrid transfer target set for Premier League move

Atletico Madrid look set to miss out in the transfer race for Borussia Dortmund star Niclas Fullkrug.

Los Rojiblancos are on the hunt for a new striker with Fullkrug highlighted as an option to come in following the summer exits of Alvaro Morata and Memphis Depay.

After being linked with options in La Liga, Atletico Madrid are unwilling to pay an inflated price, with Girona star Artem Dovbyk no longer a target.

The Bundesliga side are rumoured to be looking for a fee in the region of €30m for the 31-year-old with his contract running until 2026.

Dortmund Sporting Director Sebastian Kehl admitted a sale is possible but Atletico Madrid may have missed out.

As per the latest update from Sky Sports, Premier League side West Ham United are closing in on an agreement to bring him to the London Stadium.

Talks are advanced over a deal as the Hammers look to bolster their forward line for the 2024/25 Premier League campaign.
