Despite already having signed ten new players, HSV remains active in the transfer market. With William Bøving, another attacker could join the team.

Hamburger SV is still waiting for its first Bundesliga goal since their return. The main issue in the previous matches has been creating high-quality chances. That’s why the management wants to strengthen the offense once again. Sky reporter Florian Plettenberg reported on Sunday morning that HSV has officially entered the race for William Bøving.

According to the report, the Dane has received an official offer. However, Mainz 05 is also interested in the attacker, who can also play on the wing or behind the striker. With the Conference League participant, he could sign a contract until 2029. Negotiations between Sturm Graz, Bøving’s current club, and Mainz are reportedly still ongoing.

HSV with slim chances for Bøving

FSV has offered the Austrian champions, who defeated HSV 2-1 in a friendly this summer, a transfer fee of three million euros. Additionally, another Bundesliga club, whose name has not been disclosed, is also interested in Bøving. Therefore, HSV is likely only an outsider in this race, as the sporting and career prospects at most league rivals currently look more attractive.

What is clear is that Bøving, who has already played 22 matches for Denmark’s U21 team, could help HSV immediately. He offers much more than just a good finish. At Sturm Graz, he was involved in 21 goals last season, impressing with his speed, dribbling skills, and vision for his teammates. That’s why other Bundesliga clubs have also taken notice of the attacking player, who was already left out of the squad for the Graz derby last night—a clear sign of an imminent transfer before the window closes.
