Ex-HSV wonderkid Arp making waves in Denmark! | OneFootball

Fiete Arp went through the HSV youth academy. He was once predicted to have a great career. After many mixed years, he seems to have found his happiness in Denmark.

Fiete Arp transferred in the summer from Holstein Kiel after four years, during which he was never able to establish himself as a regular player, to Odense BK. At the Danish first division club, which has been coached by Alexander Zorniger since early July, the offensive player needed no time to settle in. In five appearances, he contributed four goals and two assists, playing a decisive role in five of the eight points collected so far.

Last Saturday, Arp and his team faced league leader FC Copenhagen. He was on the spot after just four minutes and scored the opening goal. Ultimately, Odense, which just returned to the top Danish league, managed an impressive draw. Currently, they are in sixth place out of twelve starters in the table. A position with which the promoted team could be very satisfied at the end of the season.

Arp was once a great hope for HSV

That the now 25-year-old Arp is pursuing his career in Odense was not foreseeable in earlier years. He went through the HSV youth system very successfully – 46 goals in 54 appearances for U17 and U19 speak for themselves – as well as the associated DFB selections, before scoring in his second appearance for HSV on 28.10.2017, becoming the youngest Bundesliga scorer in the club's history. A week later, he was again successful as the first professional born after 2000 to score in the Bundesliga, causing the Volkspark to erupt with a 3-1 victory over Stuttgart.

The HSV fans were simply thrilled with the native of Bad Segeberg. However, the hype quickly ended. Arp suffered from the catastrophic form of his team, which ultimately got relegated, as well as the constant speculation surrounding him. In the summer of 2019, he moved to FC Bayern for a transfer fee of three million euros. There, he freed himself from all economic worries, but did not play a central role even in the second team.

In Kiel, Arp fared much better. The promotion to the Bundesliga will be particularly memorable, even though Holstein had to say goodbye after just one year. In Odense, Arp is currently on the best path to prevent the same season outcome thanks to his goals and assists.
