The Hammers and Wolfsburg have both been strongly linked with the 27-year-old, who is out of contract in the summer. The Germany international is yet to agree fresh terms with Hannover, who could lose him for nothing in the summer. But despite the links, Hannover general manager Jorg Schmadtke says there is nothing to consider as no bids have been made for him. "Christian Schulz is contracted to Hannover 96. As far as I can see, we have not been receiving any offer for his services," he told Allgemeine Zeitung. "Therefore I do not need to think about whether we would be ready to let him move on, if there would be an offer on the table." Left-footed Schulz, who began his career at Werder Bremen, can play anywhere in defence and has also featured in midfield.
