“SO SAD” West Ham Player Reveal His Shocking Reality Of 2024 Transfer, What He Said Will Leave You Speechless!
West Ham United’s £27million summer signing, Niclas Fullkrug, has spoken candidly about his struggles since joining the Hammers from Borussia Dortmund. The 31-year-old German striker has endured a frustrating start to his West Ham career, making only six appearances due to an injury-plagued spell.
Fullkrug’s woes began in September when he suffered an Achilles injury that has kept him sidelined for three months. The striker has played just 45 minutes of football since the 3-1 defeat to Manchester City at the end of August, a period that has been marked by frustration and disappointment.
In a recent interview with the Copa TS podcast, Fullkrug opened up about his struggles, saying: “I was injured for three months and haven’t even reached my top performance because I’ve only been in training for a week and a half. It then seemed that I was back at a good level relatively quickly because I came in and scored the goal.”
Fullkrug’s return to action was marked by a goal-scoring cameo against Leicester City earlier this month, a performance that hinted at better things to come. However, the striker is aware that he still has a long way to go to regain full fitness and rediscover his best form.
Despite the setbacks, Fullkrug remains optimistic about his prospects at West Ham. With Michail Antonio recovering from his own injuries and Danny Ings struggling to break into the starting XI, Fullkrug has a genuine opportunity to establish himself as the Hammers’ first-choice striker.
If Fullkrug can maintain his fitness and avoid further setbacks, there is no reason why he cannot turn his fortunes around and become the player that West Ham signed him to be. The German striker’s determination and resilience in the face of adversity will be crucial in his quest to succeed at the London Stadium.
As Fullkrug himself acknowledged, “I’ve had something like this before, it took six weeks, now it’s taken a little longer and this phase is catastrophic. You just want to play and you feel like you’re close, but then there’s another setback.” However, with his return to action and a goal to his name, Fullkrug is ready to put his injury woes behind him and make a meaningful impact at West Ham.
