West Ham United faces summer exit bids for Summerville and Fullkrug
West Ham United, newly relegated and now owned by Czech billionaire Daniel Křetínský, is preparing to offload key players this summer. Dutch winger Crysencio Summerville, who scored on his Netherlands debut at the World Cup, has attracted interest from several clubs, but Manchester United's concrete approach has made a move for him "impossible" for rivals such as Tottenham, Roma and PSG. West Ham have set a valuation roughly double the £52 million they paid, signalling they will not accept lower offers.
German striker Niclas Fullkrug, signed from Borussia Dortmund for a substantial fee, struggled to make an impact, featuring only four times for West Ham before a loan spell at AC Milan yielded just one goal in 20 Serie A matches. Italian Serie A side Venezia remain interested but state that a "greater effort" will be required, citing his wage demands as a possible obstacle. West Ham could let Fullkrug leave on a free transfer, while the player also considers a move to MLS or a return to Germany.
