HSV finalized another personnel decision on Deadline Day. Immanuel Pherai is leaving the Red Shorts.

The playmaker is moving to SV 07 Elversberg on loan with immediate effect until the end of the season. The deal has been officially confirmed and completed. “Good luck, Manu,” announced HSV on its social media channels.

In the current Bundesliga season, the 24-year-old only managed 30 minutes of play and had not played a significant role in recent sporting plans. To give Pherai more match practice, the decision-makers in Hamburg opted for a loan. SV Elversberg not only secured the services of the attacking player, but also agreed on a purchase option, which, according to Bild information, is set at 1.5 million euros. This means the Saarland club also prevailed over 1. FC Nürnberg, who had long been considered the favorite in the Pherai race.

HSV completes personnel planning

From HSV’s perspective, the move is logical. Pherai gets the chance to play regularly and regain his sporting rhythm, while the club remains flexible in terms of personnel. The departure is part of a larger squad reshuffle on Deadline Day, which also saw homegrown player Otto Stange return early from Elversberg.

Additionally, the Hanseatic club announced the departure of Aboubaka Soumahoro, who is moving on loan to AS Saint-Etienne. The signing of Basel star Philip Otele has also been completed. With that, the HSV squad is set for the second half of the season!
