Despite his great determination and effort on the pitch, Niclas Fullkrug is unfortunately not providing the contribution that they had hoped for at Casa Milan when they brought him in on loan from West Ham in January, with a purchase option set at 5 million euros. Even yesterday against Napoli, the German got another chance from the start, but apart from a few lay-offs, he was hardly noticeable.
According to tuttomercatoweb.com, his future at Milan, where he has so far scored just one goal, is already decided: "Because Milan's attack has stalled, and even Fullkrug, the first signing of the entire Serie A winter transfer window, now seems like yet another striker flop following Olivier Giroud's departure. The German forward has scored just one goal since his arrival and, like his predecessors Morata and Gimenez, is proving not up to the task. In the summer, he will be sent back to West Ham, and the Rossoneri will return to the market in search of a new number nine. A search that in recent years has brought more flops than players worthy of the history of Milan’s number nine shirt."
