Fulham are reportedly interested in signing Werder Bremen striker Niclas Fullkrug.
The Cottagers have made a number of additions this summer, including Calvin Bassey, Raul Jimenez and Adama Traore.
Timothy Castagne became the club's fourth signing earlier this week, before Steven Benda completed a move from Swansea City earlier today.
Despite adding two new names to his squad this week, Marco Silva is still expected to delve back into the transfer market before Friday's transfer deadline.
With the Fulham boss determined to bring in further reinforcements, the forward line has been identified as one area in need of strengthening.
The Cottagers are looking to find a replacement for Serbian Aleksandar Mitrovic, who joined Al-Hilal earlier this month.
According to the Evening Standard, Fulham are lining up a bid for Fullkrug after identifying the German striker as a potential target.
Fullkrug, who joined Bremen from Hannover in 2019, has scored 49 goals in 124 competitive appearances for his current employers.
The 30-year-old finished alongside Christopher Nkunku as the Bundesliga's joint-top scorer last term after racking up 16 goals to keep his side in the top flight.
While a new Bremen deal is said to be in the works, Fullkrug is yet to put pen to paper on a fresh contract.
The West London club are facing competition from German giants Borussia Dortmund, who have been linked with Fullkrug.
With Sebastien Haller set to represent Ivory Coast in January's Africa Cup of Nations, Dortmund are determined to bring in a new forward.
According to German outlet Ruhr Nachrichten, Bremen are hoping to receive a €20m (£17.2m) fee for the Germany international.
The report suggests that Dortmund would be unwilling to match Bremen's valuation due to the player's age and injury record. body check tags ::
