National soccer player Niclas Füllkrug

Subject to a medical check, he is moving to the traditional Italian club AC Milan. According to consistent media reports, Milan will initially loan the 32-year-old striker from West Ham United until the end of the season. The Milan club is then said to have secured a purchase option. Füllkrug should sign his contract following the medical examinations.

With the move, Füllkrug is hoping for more playing time than before, and thus a chance to take part in the World Cup in the summer. The striker has hardly been used in the Premier League recently and has repeatedly struggled with injuries.
