Hamburger SV is one of the largest clubs in Germany. In the New sticker on T-Online you will find all the important messages about the “red pants”.
Shortly before the transfer of transfer, the Hamburg SV struck Doppelge: Albert Sambi Lokonga and Fabio Vieira switched to Bundesliga club from the Premier League top club FC Arsenal. The HSV committed the Belgian Lokonga, but the Hanseates did not provide information on the duration of the contract. Spielmacher Vieira joins the climber in loan.
Lokonga (25) played on loan for FC Sevilla in Spain last season. Vieira was last under contract with FC Porto.
“With the commitment of Sambi, we gain a strong and experienced midfielder. In recent years, he has demonstrated its qualities at the highest level of play in the Premier League and the LA LIGA and is intended to help our team in the game structure and in transitional game,” said HSV board member Stefan Kuntz to sign the two-time Belgian national player.
Vieira describes Kuntz as a “classic playmaker who has a lot of creativity”. With the obligation, the HSV “has now also filled the last open position of high quality,” said Kuntz.
HSV attacker Otto Stange goes to SV Elversberg for a year. Both clubs announced this on the last day of the transfer period.
“With the loan to SV Elversberg, we have found an optimal solution for Otto’s further development with regard to regular season,” said HSV sports director Claus Costa about the 18-year-old. “The SVE has recently developed an excellent reputation as a station for loan players, so Otto will be in good hands there.”
Another HSV talent changes to the 3rd league: The 20-year-old defender Joel Aggyekum was loaned to Viktoria Cologne for one season.
Bundesliga promoted Hamburger SV strengthens his squad shortly before the end of the transfer phase. The traditional North German club is about to borrow the 25-year-old Portuguese Fábio Vieira from the English top club FC Arsenal with a purchase option. First “Sky” reported about it. In addition, Vieira’s teammate Albert Sambi Lokonga is to be committed.
The 25 -year -old Vieira moved from FC Porto to the club from London in 2022 for 35 million euros, and in the past season he was again awarded to postage. The midfielder is intended as a creative player in midfield.
In the bumpy preparation and also with the weak appearance against city rival FC St. Pauli (0: 2), it became clear that the HSV needs at least one player who stimulates the offensive out of the midfield. HSV did not score in two league games.
