NICLAS FULLKRUG NEWS

Transfers to Dortmund Fullkrug completed a transfer to Dortmund from Werder, Bremen announced.

Impact Fullkrug makes the switch into the Champions League, joining up with Borussia Dortmund. The Bundesliga Golden Boot winner in 2022-23, Fullkrug is one of the best pure goal-scorers the league has to offer. The only question is how he slots into a lineup with Sebastien Haller and Youssoufa Moukoko. Fullkrug is in his prime and likely won't have left Bremen to be a mere rotation option.

Quiet against Union Berlin Fullkrug had zero shots and one inaccurate cross during Saturday's 1-0 loss against Union Berlin.

Impact Fullkrug made his second consecutive start but was still far from his best rhythm, failing to even attempt a shot despite playing the full 90. However, we can't forget what the forward did before getting injured mid-April as he was one of the top Bundesliga players while healthy. After finishing his campaign with 16 goals, five assists, 79 shots and 34 chances created over 28 starts, Fullkrug will certainly have many teams interested on his services during the summer transfer window.
