Niclas Füllkrug and Eren Dinkci join Werder Bremen

Overview

Striker Niclas Füllkrug has completed his return to Werder Bremen on a one-year loan from West Ham United. The 33-year-old, a former Bundesliga top scorer and German international, finalized the move after undergoing a medical examination at the Weserstadion. The transfer follows a difficult period for Füllkrug in England, where he was reportedly excluded from training and not assigned a squad number. To make the deal financially sustainable, Füllkrug agreed to a significant salary reduction. Werder Bremen officials, including head coach Daniel Thioune, welcomed the signing, describing him as a “classic goalscorer” and a “leadership figure.”

Despite concerns regarding his age and history of muscular injuries, coach Daniel Thioune reported that the striker is in a “surprisingly good condition.” Füllkrug has already made an early impact, scoring a penalty during his cup debut against Lüneburg. While his recent performance included a quiet debut in a 1-4 loss against Freiburg, he has since found scoring form. Most recently, Füllkrug helped Werder Bremen secure a 1-1 draw against 1. FC Köln, netting his third goal in four competitive matches.

To bolster the offense, Bremen also reacquired Eren Dinkci on a one-year loan from SC Freiburg. Following recent muscular issues, Dinkci has completed a week of training and is considered “definitely a squad option” for upcoming matches. Dinkci has since expressed a desire to remain with the club permanently, stating that playing at the Weserstadion is a “huge honor.” He noted that being in his hometown provides essential emotional support as his partner battles leukemia, adding that football serves as a “necessary distraction” during difficult times.
