Niclas Fullkrug has rubbished claims he's unsettled at West Ham United.

The Germany striker is in his first season in England, but with West Ham sitting in 17th place on the Premier League table, he is being linked with a return to the Bundesliga.

But the summer signing from Borussia Dortmund told Kicker: "Well, I never intended to leave West Ham – and it's not on my mind right now either. Because I'm really enjoying this job at the moment.

"And I didn't join a club at 32 to use it as a springboard."

Fullkrug also insisted: "I find a challenge like this appealing: moving to a club that isn't yet where you want to be.

"I'll take my time at Werder Bremen as an example: we started out in the second division back then - and now the club is in single-digit positions in the Bundesliga. I would like to push for a similar improvement here too." 

Fullkrug's deal with West Ham runs to 2028.
