AC Milan plan swap offer for unsettled West Ham striker Fullkrug

AC Milan are interested in West Ham striker Niclas Fullkrug.

The Germany international is ready to leave the Hammers in January after a difficult 18 months in London,

TMW says Milan are keen and willing to set up a swap involving Mexico international striker Santi Gimenez.

Fullkrug's agent admitted last week that a move could happen over the New Year.

"Many would probably agree with that, seeing Niclas as a classic penalty area striker," Thorsten Wirth told the TOMorrow Business Podcast.

"Strong in the air, physically strong, can shield the ball – so basically made for the Premier League.

"Looking back, we have to say the transfer didn't work out. There's no point in sugarcoating it."

Asked about a January departure, Wirth also stated: "This always has to happen in cooperation with the club, but I believe it can make sense to change something there.

"Time and again, at a point where you said now he's coming, now he'll show England that it wasn't just a good European Championship and then nothing more will come of it – another injury came along, and that's a shame.

"He had a bit of a negative momentum and also some bad luck."
