HSV: Will U17 World Cup winner Yalcinkaya move on? | OneFootball

Bilal Yalcinkaya is currently unavailable to HSV due to injury. Where his path will lead will become clear in the coming weeks.

In the current season, the attacking player has only played one competitive match, namely on the first matchday of the Regionalliga Nord with the U21s against Hannover 96’s second team (0:0). A few days later, he was diagnosed with a broken foot. Since then, Bilal Yalcinkaya has been sidelined and is now working diligently towards his comeback, which will take place with the U21s.

In the medium term, however, he does not see himself continuing his work in the Regionalliga. As reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt, Yalcinkaya, who was already considering a move in the summer, wants to make a new attempt in the upcoming transfer window. The goal is a loan to the third or possibly even the second division. However, a transfer to Denmark, the Netherlands, or Turkey is also possible.

Yalcinkaya shone at the U17 World Cup

Currently, Yalcinkaya is considered too good for the Regionalliga. However, he is not yet ready for the Bundesliga, to which HSV returned after a seven-year absence. In the past season—his first full one in senior football—the 19-year-old collected eleven scorer points in 25 appearances. He particularly drew attention at the U17 World Cup in Indonesia in autumn 2023, when Germany won the title after a dramatic final against France.

Yalcinkaya assisted Paris Brunner’s opening goal. Earlier in the tournament, he scored twice as a substitute. After the tournament, the Hamburg native signed a professional contract, but has not yet managed to establish himself in the first team. A short-term stint at another club is intended to help him make the breakthrough. How helpful a loan can be from HSV’s perspective is currently being demonstrated by Otto Stange. At the top club in the second division, he is making an excellent impression and is expected to return to his parent club stronger.
