Nuno Espirito Santo, West Ham’s head coach, spoke at a press conference ahead of the match against Fulham and commented on Niclas Füllkrug, who has joined Milan on loan with an option to buy. He said:
“We wish him all the best. Things were not working out for him here. We wish him all the best and hope he can play at Milan. As for us, we have a lot to focus on. Why didn’t it work? I cannot fully assess the situation because I arrived only recently, but some minor injuries prevented him from playing many consecutive matches. That delays the preparation and physical condition of any player," as relayed via Milan News."
Fullkrug chooses the number 9 shirt
The German striker has chosen to wear the number 9 shirt. The most recent player to wear it was Luka Jovic, who inherited it from Olivier Giroud during last season. The most coveted number for any centre-forward immediately has a new owner.
