Fabio Vieira directs HSV’s offensive game: with three goals and five assists, he is the most successful scorer to date. Many supporters would like the club to sign the attacking player on loan from Arsenal in the summer. HSV has a purchase option that should be around 20 million euros. Vieira would be the most expensive transfer in the club’s history.
For the 25-year-old, however, the question of the future is not currently in the foreground. “Of course there is this possibility. But I’m not thinking about it now,” he told the “Abendblatt”. His focus is entirely on staying in the league. “First of all, I want to give everything on the pitch for HSV this season.”
