New signing from Borussia Dortmund should lead the line up front for the Hammers this season.
He’ll get the lion’s share of matches as the 1st choice starter, overtaking Michail Antonio in the pecking order.
Füllkrug managed 12 goals from 29 games in the Bundesliga last season, so we can reasonably expect 7-9 Premier league goals as he adjusts to the demands of a new league under a different tactical setup.
Michail Antonio (£5.5m)
West Ham’s 2nd choice forward provides a much-needed physical presence that creates room for Bowen to maximise his goal scoring potential.
He’s a very able budget forward option who will deliver more than a handful of goals and assists.
21 starts in each of the last 2 seasons shows he won’t be getting huge amounts of game time, and with the acquisition of Füllkrug we expect a drop off in the number of starts and goals he scores this season.
Danny Ings (£5m)
Ings will get time off of the bench as 3rd choice forward, as well as get minutes in cup competitions.
