AC Milan want to sign Niklas Furkrug from West Ham United during the January transfer window.
According to Daniele Longo, the Italian team has already agreed a six-month loan deal with the player.
Niklas Furkrug needs a move
The Germany international has not hit his stride since joining the Premier League club and needs to progress towards becoming a regular fixture in the first team.
The player has struggled to adapt to English football and has had his fair share of injury problems. A new challenge may be ideal for Furkrug. It may help him regain his form and confidence.
The player is expected to sign a short-term contract with the Italian club, earning him around £54,000 a week. It will be interesting to see if he can regain his form and confidence in Italy. Sitting on the bench at West Ham would not be of any benefit to him and it would be ideal for him to move and play regularly for another club.
West Ham need a replacement for Furkrug
West Ham, on the other hand, will be hoping that the player can impress in Italy and be sold at the end of the season. They are fighting to survive in the Premier League and need quality players at their disposal. It will also be necessary to eliminate players like Furkrug who are underperforming.
It will be interesting to see if they can bring in a quality striker in the coming weeks. Signing a reliable finisher could be the difference between winning or losing this season for them.
The German attacker has previously proven his quality with Borussia Dortmund and will be desperate to get his career back on track. It will be interesting to see if he can adapt quickly to Italian football and make an immediate impact.
