West Ham are closing in on the signings of Borussia Dortmund striker Niclas Fullkrug and Argentina midfielder Guido Rodriguez with both players undergoing medicals.
Germany international Fullkrug, 31, was given permission by Dortmund to leave their training camp to discuss a £27million move to the Hammers, while Rodriguez is a free agent after leaving Real Betis at the end of last season.
The PA news agency understands Fullkrug and 30-year-old Rodriguez are undergoing medical tests on Sunday and Monday, before the deals are formally completed.
Fullkrug scored 16 goals in 46 appearances for Dortmund last season, helping them reach the Champions League final which they lost to Real Madrid.
Rodriguez was part of the Argentina squad who won the 2022 World Cup in Qatar.
The transfers continue a summer of rebuilding at West Ham after new boss Julen Lopetegui captured winger Crysencio Summerville for £25million from Leeds on Saturday evening.

Lopetegui has also brought in defender Max Kilman from his former club Wolves for £40million, as well as goalkeeper Wes Foderingham and Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme.
Manchester United right-back Aaron Wan-Bissaka is understood to be another target for the Spaniard, although he went off injured during the Red Devils’ 3-0 friendly defeat by Liverpool in South Carolina.
Norwich have confirmed midfielder Gabriel Sara has completed a permanent move to Galatasaray.
The Turkish champions said on X that they had paid £15.36million for the Brazilian midfielder, who joined Norwich from Sao Paulo in the summer of 2022 for £6m.
