Official: HSV sign new striker! | OneFootball

HSV have completed their first striker signing of the summer. Patson Daka is joining the club on a free transfer and will strengthen the Rothosen attack with immediate effect.

The Zambia international arrives in Hamburg after his contract with Leicester City expired and, according to media reports, has signed a one-year deal with an option for a further season. After successfully completing his medical, the 27-year-old will travel directly to the training camp in Längenfeld.

With this signing, HSV are responding above all to the departures of Ransford Königsdörffer, Robert Glatzel and loanee Damion Downs. Daka is the first new forward the club’s bosses have brought in this summer. He has so far made 47 international appearances for Zambia and scored 21 goals. The striker enjoyed his most successful spell at Red Bull Salzburg, where he netted an impressive 68 goals in 125 competitive matches between 2017 and 2021. He then moved to Leicester City for €22 million.

In England, however, Daka was only rarely able to reproduce the form he showed in Austria. HSV are now hoping to help the pacey striker rediscover his old strength.
