Fullkrug’s late header saw Werder become the first team to take points off Dortmund this seasonGettyThe Germany international was mobbed by his teammates after scoring against his former clubGetty“I think people look at what happened to him at West Ham and say, well, ‘He’s rubbish, he’s no good, he just wasn’t up to the level’.“But everything that he’s done in the Bundesliga would tell you he is up to the level. Everything he’s done at international level for Germany would tell you that he’s up to the level. “It was a difficult situation at West Ham and he had tons of injuries. We never saw the real Niclas Fullkrug.”What happened to Niclas Fullkrug at West Ham?Fullkrug penned a four-year deal at the London Stadium when joining West Ham, but his time in England was littered with injury woes.He missed 36 matches for club and country in 15 months before leaving to join AC Milan on loan in January of this year.The striker’s struggles continued in Italy, scoring just once in 20 appearances, while the Hammers were relegated in his absence.Fullkrug failed to deliver on expectations at West HamGettyFullkrug didn’t just struggle on the pitch while at West Ham, also launching an explosive rant aimed at his own teammates in April 2025 following a draw with relegated Southampton.Fullkrug’s X-rated outburst saw him accuse the squad of having a ‘mindset problem’.And while his no-nonsense mentality ruffled a few feathers in England, it is now being hailed over in Germany.Hatchard was a huge fan of his unfiltered goal celebration after netting the equaliser at Dortmund, despite the striker previously enjoying a successful season at the club in the 2023/24 campaign.The journalist said of it: “He celebrated like a madman – I’m all for that. “And he said afterwards, ‘Look, it wasn’t a goal against Dortmund for me. It was a goal for Werder and it meant a lot at the time’.”
