According to a new report from Sky Sports Germany's Plettenberg, German striker Phil Kruger has received significant advice from the German national team's coaching staff as he seeks a new chapter in his career. Members of the coaching staff, including Nagelsmann, Wagner and Benjamin Glück, have unanimously recommended that Felkruger move to Premier League side West Ham United. They believe that making frequent appearances in a league as competitive as the Premier League would greatly improve Phil Kruger's chances of becoming a starting striker for the German national team at the 2026 World Cup.
West Ham United's interest in Phil Kruger has been translated into action as they have made an offer of up to €25 million to Borussia Dortmund in a bid to bring in the powerful striker. For his part, Phil Kruger is open to joining West Ham United and is willing to sign a contract until 2027, while the contract also includes a 1-year option to extend clause, which shows the player's planning and confidence in his future career.
However, the finalization of the deal still depends on the attitude of Dortmund. As Phil Kruger's current owners, Dortmund has the right to decide in the transfer negotiations. Whether they will accept West Ham United's offer, and whether both sides can agree on the details of the transfer fee and player treatment will be the key factors affecting the success of this deal.
