"Füllkrug entered the game very well, but I had no doubts because he arrived at Milan with so much enthusiasm and desire. Tonight, he was very useful with his headers and in protecting the ball. It's not something you will see this early on the pitch, but he's very good. He's only recently arrived, but he has settled in very well."
"Milan announced the loan of Füllkrug from West Ham yesterday, but the deal was secured already before the new year, and the striker had been training with the team for several days. In short, they just needed to wait due to the transfer regulations."
"Indeed, the German combined well with his teammates in those 20 minutes and got a decent rating from us. He nearly bagged a good assist for Pulisic, first flicking it with his head, then finding the American in a good position. However, the shot was saved by the keeper."
Niclas Füllkrug made his AC Milan debut against Cagliari, entering the match with twenty minutes remaining. The loan from West Ham had been agreed before the new year, and Füllkrug had trained with the squad for several days before the move was announced due to transfer timing. During his cameo he contributed with effective headers, ball protection, and good combination play, nearly creating an assist for Christian Pulisic that was saved by the goalkeeper. Selection for the upcoming match against Genoa remains open, with Rafael Leao, Christian Pulisic, and Christopher Nkunku as possible options.
