Niklas Füllkrug joined AC Milan on loan from West Ham in January. The transfer was covered extensively by Sport Witness, as the Rossoneri inserted an option to buy in the deal.
After a slow start to life in Italy, the German found the net against Lecce. His goal helped Milan pick up a vital win. He hasn’t started since then, however, the striker’s intentions about his future are clear.
MilanNews’ Antonio Vitiello has covered the 33-year-old, clarifying Füllkrug’s desperation to leave West Ham permanently.
The player celebrated his 33rd birthday on Monday and the journalist notes that the striker also wants to celebrate his permanent transfer in some months.
This is because he is ‘enjoying his time’ at Milan and is already very attached to the city. Beyond that, he also fits well into Max Allegri’s side.
Everything now depends on the striker. AC Milan have the option to buy and the Rossoneri expect the veteran to contribute to more goals across the campaign.
The player himself is keen to make a mark, having failed to impress at West Ham.
It is important to note that Füllkrug has already had an injury problem at Milan. He pushed through it, even if the initial signs were concerning. The German is clearly pushing himself to try and earn that permanent switch.
