Fullkrug Targets Fresh Start at Milan After Difficult West Ham Stint

He cites fatigue from a heavy schedule that left him underprepared in England.

Overview

AC Milan confirmed a six‑month loan with an option to buy on the first day of the January window, and he has already appeared in the last two Serie A matches.
Speaking at his Milan introduction, Niclas Fullkrug said West Ham "wasn't an easy place" and that "things didn't work out" for him.
He attributed his struggles to a 57‑game season and an inadequate preseason following EURO 2024.
He said he now feels "fresh, fit" and credited Milan's medical staff for an effective training program.
He arrived at West Ham from Borussia Dortmund for about €30m and scored three Premier League goals in 26 appearances over 18 months.
