West Ham have announced they have completed the signing of German striker Niclas Fullkrug on a four-year deal.
The 31-year-old underwent a medical over the weekend before transferring to the Premier League in a £23m deal.
‘I’m delighted to be here, and I can’t wait to get out on the pitch with my new team-mates.’ Fullkrug told the club’s website.
‘I think the Premier League is the best league in the world, and for me it is the right time to move over to England and play for a big Club like West Ham.
‘I have been thinking about West Ham for a long time now – I know the Technical Director Tim Steidten very well, because we have history at Werder Bremen together, and I have watched some games and seen how much quality there is in the team.
‘The chance to play under the Head Coach [Lopetegui] is also really exciting.
‘His playing style is important for me, and I am confident that under him I will be able to perform at my best, and score lots of goals.
‘I love being close to supporters, and I’m really looking forward to meeting the West Ham fans.
‘I have a very good feeling at the moment – I’m strong, fit and in shape – and I just want to get out there and start playing for them.’
After joining Dortmund from Hannover last summer, Fullkrug went on to net 12 goals across 29 Bundesliga starts, and scored the winner in their Champions League semi-final first leg victory over PSG.
