Niclas Füllkrug moved from BVB to the island for almost 30 million euros. But so far the transfer has been rather disappointing for the national player.
Niclas Füllkrug publicly struggled with his first few months in London. In Tommi Schmitt’s Copa TS podcast, the striker called his move from Borussia Dortmund to West Ham United “risky” and emphasized: “It went extremely crappy for me too, to put it quite clearly.” Of course they had “completely different goals”.
The 31-year-old has only come on as a substitute five times in the Premier League season so far. Füllkrug has one goal this season and was out for several months due to injury. Füllkrug explained that he hasn’t achieved his top performance once yet.
Things are also going more than mixed for his club. West Ham United have 19 points and are 14th in the table. closer to the relegation zone than to the Europa League places. Füllkrug reported on intensive discussions before his decision.
“Because I knew I was taking a step deeper and taking a certain risk that I wouldn’t play internationally next year, maybe not the year after that, and make a big, big change,” said the attacker. Füllkrug signed a contract with West Ham until the summer of 2028.
