West Ham have signed German striker Niclas Füllkrug from Borussia Dortmund on a four-year contract, the Premier League club confirmed on Monday.
Füllkrug was already on the radar of the London club before last season, but decided to move from Werder Bremen to Dortmund, another Bundesliga club, where he scored 16 goals in 46 games in all competitions. He was also a key player in their run to the Champions League final.
“I think the Premier League is the best league in the world and for me it's the right time to move to England and play for a big club like West Ham,” said Füllkrug.
“I've been thinking about West Ham for a long time. I know the manager, Tim Steidten, very well because we have a history at Werder Bremen together and I've seen a few games and been able to see the quality of the team.”
Financial details of the deal were not disclosed, but West Ham reportedly paid £27 million ($34.5 million) for the Germany international.
Füllkrug, 31, was in Germany's Euro 2024 squad and scored two goals in five games.
