HSV is 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 obligatory medical check is still pending. If no issues arise there, HSV can complete its 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. It had already become apparent in recent days that HSV would win the race for the midfielder and prevail over some high-profile competition from Germany and abroad.

HSV on the verge of signing Germany U20 international

That now appears to be exactly what will happen. HSV would thus secure 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 also contributed one goal and one assist. At 1.86 meters tall and with notable pace, the youngster also offers an exciting physical profile.

Not least for this reason, HSV was far from alone in its pursuit of 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 box-to-box midfielder or at center-back—to move to Hamburg.
