Niclas Füllkrug has asked West Ham United to sanction a loan move in the January transfer window and Juventus are an ‘idea to be studied’ for him.
That’s according to Tuttosport, [via Calciomercato](https://www.calciomercato.com/news/fullkrug-vuole-lasciare-il-west-ham-ecco-come-la-juventus-puo-pr-56578), who report that it could be a case of ‘act two’ for Füllkrug after he was linked to AC Milan in the summer transfer window.
The belief is that the German strike ‘could become a concrete option’ for Juvenuts as they look for an alternative to Arkadiusz Milik.
The newspaper reports that Füllkrug has ‘expressed the desire’ to leave West Ham temporarily in January for personal reasons. He is pushing his entourage to test the waters for a loan transfer.
On that front, Juventus are an ‘idea to be studied’ as they need an alternative to Milik and the German striker would fit in for them on an economic level.
If West Ham were to open up to the loan deal to suit the ‘personal needs’ of the striker, the parties could sit down at the negotiating table and work something out.
It all depends on West Ham, who have to decide what they want to do with their summer signing. He cost €26m in the summer and was supposed to be the answer to their striker problems but has so far managed four appearances and one goal in the Premier League.
He’s now over the injury problems which caused that but if he doesn’t feature more over this month it seems he wants out, and Juventus are a potential option for him if he’s allowed to depart.
