HSV are expected to confirm the signing of Kofi Amoako in the near future. An agreement with the 21-year-old is already in place.

As kicker and Bild both reported on Monday, Amoako is set to be officially unveiled later this week. Only the mandatory medical remains outstanding. If there are no issues, HSV can complete their first transfer for the 2026/27 season.

According to Bild, the Rothosen are activating Amoako’s release clause and will pay around two million euros to Dynamo Dresden. In recent days, it had already become clear that HSV were leading the race for the midfielder and would prevail against some notable competition from Germany and abroad.

HSV close to signing Germany U20 international

That now appears to be exactly what will happen. HSV are set to land one of the most exciting midfield talents in the 2. Bundesliga. Amoako featured in 32 of a possible 34 matches last season and played a key role in Dresden avoiding relegation. He contributed one goal and one assist. At 1.86m tall and with impressive pace, the youngster also offers an intriguing physical profile.

Not least for this reason, HSV were far from the only club pursuing Amoako. Mopo reported that Union Berlin and Premier League club Leeds United had also taken notice of the German U20 international (six caps). However, the perspective outlined by sporting director Claus Costa and his team convinced the defensive midfielder — who can also play as a number eight or at centre-back — to make the move to Hamburg.
