"A classic first striker, an old-fashioned centre forward who can be very useful in a game system that involves a central striker who acts as a reference point. The skill in the banks and the presence in the penalty area. When he is set up with a cross from the wings, he takes a lot of heads because he has timing and knows how to anticipate the ball. Technically, he's good and never gives up."
"He is not fast and should not be asked to attack the depth or lead the counterattack. He's not afraid to raise his voice when there's a need. He is one of character and experience, one whom his companions listen to. In short, a leader. He played a lot in the second German division. He scored, but he had injuries that slowed him down."
Niclas Fullkrug will join AC Milan on loan with an option to buy for €5 million. The signing provides a physical centre-forward alternative for Massimiliano Allegri and a low-cost potential long-term addition. Fullkrug functions as a classic first striker who acts as a central reference point. His strengths include aerial ability, strong penalty-area presence, good timing on crosses, technical competence, and persistent effort. His limitations include limited pace, making him unsuitable for depth runs or leading counterattacks. He contributes character and leadership in the locker room and emerged late after injuries and time in the second German division.
