Misunderstanding over: Peretz leaves HSV for England | OneFootball

Now it's official: After just a few months, Daniel Peretz is leaving HSV early and continuing his career in England.

The Hamburg club confirmed the departure of the Israeli national goalkeeper, who is joining the English second division club FC Southampton. This marks the premature end of an unsuccessful loan chapter on the Elbe.

Peretz came to HSV from FC Bayern in the summer to gain regular match practice. However, this plan did not materialize. The 25-year-old could not surpass first-choice keeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes and remained without a minute of play in the Bundesliga. Peretz only played in two DFB-Pokal matches and publicly expressed his frustration over the lack of playing time multiple times.

In Southampton, the ten-time Israeli international now wants to make a fresh start. There, Peretz will also meet the German coach Tonda Eckert, with whom he hopes for a bigger role. "HSV wishes Daniel Peretz all the best for his future career," the northern club writes in its press release.

HSV wants to sign a replacement for Peretz

This begins the search for a new backup for Heuer Fernandes for HSV. Currently, coach Merlin Polzin has only two Bundesliga-inexperienced youngsters, Hannes Herrmann (20) and Fernando Dickes (18), available. According to consistent media reports, the club's management wishes to sign a battle-tested goalkeeper before the transfer period ends. However, this is unlikely to happen before the upcoming away game against SC Freiburg (Saturday, 3:30 PM).

Therefore, homegrown talent Herrmann is likely to travel as the second keeper to Breisgau. "If we haven't signed another goalkeeper by then, Hannes will be there – with absolute conviction and trust in him," Polzin already stated on Tuesday. That's exactly how it is likely to happen now.
