Niclas Fullkrug wanted by MLS, La Liga & Serie A clubs as AC Milan ignore purchase option for West Ham striker after dismal loan

Takes three shots off bench Fullkrug had three shots (zero on goal) in Sunday's 1-0 defeat against Parma.

Impact Fullkrug came off the bench in the 62nd minute of Sunday's match against Parma and attempted three shots without finding the net. The forward has now made seven straight appearances as a substitute and is expected to retain that role moving forward, having scored just once during that span.

Misses PK in Pisa contest Fullkrug generated two shots (zero on goal), two clearances and one cross (zero accurate) and hit the post on a PK in Friday's 2-1 win versus Pisa.

Impact Fullkrug was deployed at halftime to go with a different look up front and was solid for the most part, but didn't seize the opportunity to put his team up by two goals, aiming too wide from the spot. He'll continue to split minutes with Christopher Nkunku, Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic and Ruben Loftus-Cheek but will likely mostly operate off the bench. He has taken at least one shot in the last four matches, accumulating seven attempts (four on target), scoring once and adding one cross (zero on target), three clearances and one interception.

Scores as late sub Fullkrug scored one goal on two shot attempts (two on target) in Sunday's 1-0 win versus Lecce.

Impact Fullkrug came on in the 73rd minute of a 0-0 game and scored the winner just three minutes later. It was a defensive battle all game until Fullkrug was able to find some free space and convert from just outside the box. Minutes have been hard to come by for the speedy forward, he has only started once in his last five appearances since returning from a toe injury. More late game heroics like Sunday could help him earn his way back into the starting lineup. His next chance to do so will come Sunday versus Roma.

Posts two clearances in Como match Fullkrug (foot) registered two clearances and five passes and committed two fouls in 27 minutes in Thursday's 3-1 victory over Como.

Impact Fullkrug was the first attacker off the bench despite being banged up and helped manage the lead, but failed to put up stats in the final third because of the flow of the game. He'll rotate with Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic and Christopher Nkunku in the two-man frontline going forward. He has posted two off-target shots, five key passes and four clearances in four appearances with Milan.

Might not miss time Fullkrug will try to play through his toe injury and trained with the rest of the group Wednesday, Mediaset reported.

Impact Fullkrug has been fitted with a special protection and will go through a game-day fitness test to assess his level of comfort and the risk of making the injury worse. He has notched two shots (zero on target) and five chances created in three appearances (one start) with Milan.

Impact Fullkrug is still dealing with his thigh injury, and despite making slight improvements to train with the group partially, the forward will miss yet another match. He will instead focus on recovery during the international break and return when they resume play against Bournemouth on Nov. 22. If no setbacks occur, he appears to be moving in the right direction to be fit by then, likely narrowly missing out Saturday and just not being risked. Callum Wilson will look to earn the start at forward again in Fullkurg's place.
