Niclas Fullkrug Joins West Ham From Borussia Dortmund
Premier League side, West Ham have completed the signing of German striker, Niclas Fullkrug from Borussia Dortmund for £27m.
The 31-year-old, who joined Dortmund from Werder Bremen last summer, scored 15 goals in 46 games in 2023-24 and finished as a Champions League runner-up.
He also netted twice during hosts Germany’s run to the Euro 2024 quarter-finals, despite not starting a match.
“I’m delighted to be here, and I can’t wait to get out on the pitch with my new team-mates,” said Fullkrug, who has signed a four-year deal.
“I think the Premier League is the best in the world, and for me, it is the right time to move over to England and play for a big club like West Ham.
“I have been thinking about West Ham for a long time now – I know the technical director Tim Steidten very well, because we have history at Werder Bremen together, and I have watched some games and seen how much quality there is in the team.“
Fullkrug becomes West Ham’s fifth signing of the summer, following the arrivals of former Wolves captain Max Kilman for £40m, Dutch forward Crysencio Summerville from Leeds for more than £25m, goalkeeper Wes Foderingham from Sheffield United and Brazilian winger Luis Guilherme for £25.5m from Palmeiras.
