West Ham United are reportedly looking to sign a new striker and have identified their target.
The Hammers have made a move for Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Fullkrug and have offered him a £48k-a-week package, according to Sky Sports.
The east Londoners have offered him the same salary as he is earning at current club Dortmund.
There is a huge need for a new striker at the London Stadium and manager Julen Lopetegui wants to sign the German striker.
The Dortmund striker had an impact on his team last season when he helped them reach the Champions League final.
His performances in Dortmund and Germany have attracted the attention of many clubs but currently, the Hammers are leading the race to sign him.
He could be part of the overhaul of the big squad that Lopetegui is directing at the club.
The Hammers have signed a new defender in Max Kilman, a new winger in Luis Guilherme and a new goalkeeper in Wes Foderingham.
Along with Fullkrug, Lopetegui could welcome Crysencio Summerville from Leeds United and Aaron Wan-Bissaka from Manchester United as he continues to strengthen the squad left by David Moyes.
West Ham finished in the top half of the table last season under Moyes and Lopetegui has been brought in to build on that and push for European qualification.
The club supports the manager to sign new players and add players who can take the club to the next level.
