Not just the fans: HSV players are waiting on transfers too | OneFootball

Was Martin Adeline just the beginning? After a long wait, HSV fans were finally able to welcome another new signing this week.

But one thing is also clear: the signing of the Frenchman is not supposed to be, and will not be, the club’s last transfer of the summer. Five or six more new arrivals could still show up at the Volkspark in the coming weeks. The club is looking for a replacement for defensive leader Luka Vuskovic, two players for the defensive flanks, and two strikers.

On top of that, HSV are still dreaming of Fabio Vieira. The game-changing player from last season officially became an Arsenal player again on July 1. The Gunners are currently said to be insisting on a transfer fee of around €20 million, but they could become more open to talks over the course of August if the Portuguese midfielder has not found a new club by then. That is exactly the scenario the Rothosen are desperately hoping for.

HSV players trust the club’s management

For the moment, however, Merlin Polzin has to work with a squad that still has several personnel gaps. That is unlikely to bother the head coach too much. Everyone involved at HSV was aware that the team would not be complete at the start of preseason.

Even so, the fans are eagerly waiting for more new signings. Especially on social media, many supporters are craving a promising personnel update involving their favorite club. What is interesting: apparently, the players themselves are also following developments on the transfer market with great interest. “We’re not demanding anything. But we do ask how the talks are going,” goalkeeper Daniel Heuer Fernandes explained, for example, to Bild.

At the same time, the 33-year-old made it clear that this interest should not be mistaken for impatience. “I’m definitely not uneasy, because I know that all the key people are doing a good job and that in the end we’ll have a good team out there on the pitch.” Those are words that will likely also bring a sense of calm to many HSV fans.
