Last chance for a transfer fee: English club chasing HSV star! | OneFootball

Is HSV letting go of another attacking player in the final days of this transfer window? A transfer rumor is currently making the rounds online.

According to the English portal FootballInsider, Championship club Middlesbrough FC is working on a deal for Ransford Königsdörffer. The 24-year-old is under contract with HSV only until the summer. If the contract is not extended, this is currently the last chance for the Rothosen to collect a transfer fee.

According to the report from England, Middlesbrough’s management wants to sign the attacker before the end of the winter transfer window. The club wants to further improve its chances of promotion to the Premier League and is specifically looking for reinforcements for the attack. Königsdörffer has caught the club’s interest in this regard.

Particularly attractive from Middlesbrough’s point of view is the contract situation of the Ghanaian international. Königsdörffer is in the final six months of his contract, which is why the English second-division club hopes to sign him for a reduced fee.

HSV attack plagued by personnel issues

His versatility is another plus: the striker can be deployed in several positions up front. Königsdörffer has already played on both wings as well as in a supporting or lone striker role.

Middlesbrough, for its part, can offer an appealing sporting perspective. The club is currently in second place in the Championship. League leaders Coventry City are only three points ahead. In order to take the decisive step in the tight promotion race, the squad is to be specifically strengthened once again.

However, it is doubtful whether the northern English club will succeed in their approach for Königsdörffer. Due to the absences of Yussuf Poulsen and Alexander Røssing-Lelesiit as well as the suspension of Jean-Luc Dompé, Hamburg’s attack is anything but well-staffed.

Damion Downs, Fabio Balde, and Robert Glatzel have also recently been struggling with injuries. Since Immanuel Pherai is also on the verge of a move to Nuremberg, the club’s sporting management is unlikely to part with another attacking player. This fits with a report from the newspaper The Northern Echo, according to which there is indeed interest in Königsdörffer, but a transfer from HSV’s side is not to be expected.
