Niclas Füllkrug could find himself on the way out of West Ham United in the January transfer window, with the striker now seen as ‘hapless’. That’s according to Kicker, who report that West Ham may already be giving up on their big summer signing. Füllkrug joined West Ham in a €27m deal from Borussia Dortmund in the summer and was supposed to be the new star striker in Julen Lopetegui’s reshaped squad. Instead, the 31-year-old has barely been seen at the London Stadium, with injuries limiting him to 63 minutes in three Premier League games as a substitute and 74…

As the American himself acknowledged, it was a “Olympic stroke of luck.” Nevertheless, the goal helped Milan’s number 11 break open a surprisingly complex match against Club Brugge (where Milan finally secured their first Champions League win) and allowed him to further improve his statistics. Everyone started yelling or talking about a “Olympic goal” right away. Pulisic’s pivotal part in Milan’s equilibrium. When the team acquired him from Chelsea in the summer of 2023, many people were taken aback. He was one of the most promising young players when he joined the Premier League in 2019 at the age of…

It simply seemed…
