Füllkrug's surprise return to Werder Bremen looms
Niclas Füllkrug, the 33‑year‑old German striker, is set to re‑join Werder Bremen, with the former West Ham forward already en route to Germany and scheduled to complete the mandatory medical on Tuesday later in the day, according to Sky‑Reporter Patrick Berger.
Fans roar as return looms
The Spatzen have been whistling from the Dächern in the past Tagen and Stunden, according to the Bericht.
The story first appeared on RedditCopy as an ArticleFüg and the Quelle cites an Image Photo Agency/GettyImagesDie release.
This fan pressure underscores the Sensations‑Rückkehr narrative in the Bundesliga.
The Bericht notes that the chant has grown louder each hour, turning the city’s rooftops into a chorus.
West Ham exit clears path
West Ham United, recently relegated from the Premier League, have told Füllkrug there is no future for him.
An ill‑fated Leihe to AC Milan in the second half of the preseason saw him briefly return to London but he was barred from training.
A proposed move to Venezia collapsed when West Ham demanded a five‑million‑euro Ablöse, though they are now reportedly willing to let him go free.
Laut Sky‑Reporter Patrick Berger, the upcoming deal will be a Leihe with Füllkrug waiving his salary, despite his two‑million‑euro net annual wage at West Ham.
West Ham’s reported willingness to release him without a fee reflects their desire to cut the wage bill.
Werder hope for injury‑free season
Werder announced on Monday the Rückkehr of Eren Dinkci on Leihe from SC Freiburg.
Coach Daniel Thioune (Co) explained the club still seeks a further Stürmer, ideally a dynamic player with speed and one‑on‑one strength.
He said, “Das hat uns vergangene Saison gefehlt,” and added they would not sign a profile like Cedric Itten, praising Salim Musah for his physicality.
Thioune stressed that the desired profile emphasizes pace over aerial presence, a quality he believes the squad currently lacks.
Sport director Clemens Fritz and his team must hope the veteran can stay fit, unlike Victor Boniface who struggled with injuries last season.
The club hopes the Füllkrug comeback will provide the missing firepower for the upcoming Bundesliga campaign.
