West Ham United are scouring Serie A for attacking reinforcements as they prepare for the departure of Niclas Fรผllkrug to AC Milan. The London club is looking to move quickly to ensure Nuno Espirito Santoโs side has a reliable focal point for the second half of the season, and their sights have landed on a high-profile name in the Italian capital.
According to Sportmediaset (relayed by Giallorossi.net), the Hammers have made an initial enquiry regarding Roma striker Artem Dovbyk. The Ukrainian international, who joined the Giallorossi just in 2024 from Girona for a significant fee of approximately โฌ30.5 million plus bonuses, is being viewed specifically as the primary candidate to replace Fรผllkrug.
While the enquiry marks a serious statement of intent from West Ham, any potential deal remains complex. The report suggests that the English club is testing the waters to understand the financial feasibility of a January move as they look to capitalize on the strikerโs pedigree.
The situation remains in the early stages, but with Fรผllkrugโs move to Milan reaching its final steps, West Hamโs search for a replacement is expected to intensify. For Roma, the interest presents a significant dilemma as they weigh the playerโs importance to their squad against the potential for a massive capital gain.
