Boost for the attack: HSV look to the Netherlands! | OneFootball

For the new season, HSV are mainly looking to strengthen their attacking positions. One potential new signing is currently making a name for himself at FC Groningen.

In the summer, Younes Taha was loaned from Twente Enschede to the north of the Netherlands. There, he made his breakthrough in the Eredivisie. In 28 appearances, the attacking player recorded a total of twelve goal contributions. As a result, other clubs are also keeping an eye on him. The portal “Soccernews” confirmed a report by the Belgian outlet “Het Laatste Nieuws,” according to which RSC Anderlecht have shown strong interest.

It was also reported that Hamburger SV and FC Schalke 04 are taking a closer look at the former Morocco youth international. Like Anderlecht, the Hanseatic club are said to be considering contacting Twente Enschede, where Taha will return after the end of the season, in the near future. However, the traditional Dutch club will not let the left-footer leave willingly. Coach John van den Brom, who only took over in September, can definitely imagine working with him.

Highly versatile Taha has already appeared for HSV

However, since his contract only runs until 2027, a decision must be made this summer. If Taha does not want to extend, Twente would let him go for a fee of three to five million euros. A sum HSV can afford — and one that would be well spent, as Taha can play both centrally and on the wing, while also offering fine technique and a good eye for his teammates.

In the current campaign, the Amsterdam-born player has already featured as a right midfielder, left midfielder, central midfielder, and even as a striker. In doing so, he has recommended himself for bigger tasks after still having some teething problems in the Eredivisie last season. Taha already became more familiar with the Volkspark over the course of the season. With FC Groningen, he played a friendly at the training ground during the international break in November, but was unable to make an impact in the 3-6 defeat.

Whether his path will soon lead to Hamburg again remains to be seen in the coming weeks. Taha is likely one of many candidates being closely monitored by the officials around sporting director Claus Costa.
