Pherai set for HSV exit? | OneFootball

Immanuel Pherai has played only a minor role in the current season. Therefore, a winter transfer does not seem out of the question.

Just 25 minutes of play across five substitute appearances do not meet the expectations of the attacking player, who moved from Eintracht Braunschweig to Hamburg in the summer of 2023. As reported by Mopo, there are inquiries from both Germany and abroad, including clubs from leading European leagues. A decision is expected in the coming days.

Pherai, who recently became a father for the first time, wants to make the decision together with his family. From a sporting perspective, several factors speak in favor of a move. In two and a half years, the Amsterdam native has not managed to establish himself as a regular at HSV despite his promising abilities. At the moment, he is not only behind due to strong competition in central midfield, but also because of coach Merlin Polzin’s tactical setup. In the 3-4-3 system, there is simply no suitable role for a natural number ten.

Pherai could go to the World Cup with Suriname

Moreover, Pherai has failed to make the most of his few opportunities. In Cologne, for example, he set a record for the fastest yellow-red card after coming on as a substitute. Just as at HSV, the right-footer is currently also sidelined from the Suriname national team. The team still has a chance to qualify for the World Cup. The playoff matches will take place in March, with Bolivia up first.

In September and October, Pherai voluntarily withdrew from the qualification matches due to physical issues. When he declared himself fit to play in November, then-coach Stanley Menzo decided not to call him up. Henk ten Cate has since taken over, but will likely only consider Pherai if he is playing regularly and in good form. After two and a half years at HSV, a change of scenery may therefore be necessary.
