West Ham United’s technical director, Tim Steidten, has expressed his confidence in new signing Niclas Füllkrug. The German striker joined the Hammers earlier this summer in a high-profile move from Borussia Dortmund.
In an interview with Bild this morning ; Steidten, who previously worked with Füllkrug at Werder Bremen, believes the forward possesses the qualities to succeed in the Premier League. His ability to bring teammates into play and his goal-scoring prowess are seen as key assets that will benefit West Ham.
The deal has also proved to be financially advantageous for Füllkrug’s former club, Werder Bremen, who have received a substantial sum from the transfer. This highlights the growing financial implications of player transfers in modern football.
As West Ham prepare for the start of the Premier League season, the signing of Füllkrug represents a significant boost to their attacking options. The German striker’s impact on the team will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike.
Füllkrug is probably the most Steidten signing of all. He is really staking his reputation on this one so he would have to be convinced that Füllkrug would be a success in the premier league. Clearly he is a friend of Füllkrug going back to Bremen days so let’s hope he didn’t let his head rule his heart when it came to signing him. Let’s hope Füllkrug is a big success.
It was enough having previous manager making selections on basis of ‘old muckers’
