"If I really pull it off…": Arp talks about possible HSV return! | OneFootball

In his younger years, Fiete Arp was considered the future of HSV’s attack. Now, he plays in Denmark. But the striker does not rule out a return.

Fiete Arp, once the most promising talent at Hamburger SV, considers a comeback at his home club quite conceivable. “HSV would, of course, always be a club for me, but now is not the right moment. If I really manage to take the next step and become interesting for a club like HSV again, then it will always be a topic, at least in the back of my mind,” the 25-year-old explained in an interview with the Hamburger Abendblatt.

The native of Bad Segeberg, who moved from Holstein Kiel to Danish top-flight club Odense BK this summer, is currently in outstanding form. In his six league matches so far, he has scored five goals and provided two assists. Under the guidance of Alexander Zorniger, who previously coached VfB Stuttgart and SpVgg Fürth in Germany, Arp is truly flourishing in Denmark.

The fact that the former youth international is thriving abroad is by no means a coincidence. “I wanted to get out of Germany,” he made clear. “I gathered ideas from all over the world. Odense was one of the first concrete opportunities.”

The reason for his desire to move: “It was clear that the story associated with my name would never change as long as I was in Germany. Unless I suddenly scored a goal in every game.”

Fiete Arp: Was the Bayern move a career killer?

Arp, who moved to FC Bayern in 2019 amid great hype, was never able to establish himself at the record champions. This was followed by a stint at Holstein Kiel, where the striker at least got a taste of Bundesliga football again last season. Looking back, however, he does not regret his decisions: When asked if he would handle the Bayern move differently today, he simply replied: “No.”

For Arp, one thing remains clear: HSV is a club that will always appeal to him. The memories he associates with the club after nine years at Volkspark are simply too great. In Hamburg, Arp also became the first Bundesliga player born in this millennium. But at least in the short term, a return is not a serious topic.
