Polzin on further HSV transfers: “I expect...” | OneFootball

HSV have one day left until their competitive opener at SC Verl, and eight until the transfer window closes. There is likely to be plenty more movement.

Head coach Merlin Polzin is still approaching the final stretch with great confidence. After six signings and 13 departures so far, the HSV boss drew a positive interim conclusion. “The signings have worked out,” Polzin explained (via Mopo) ahead of the cup clash, stressing that he has a “really good feeling” about the squad’s development.

But the personnel planning is far from complete. More decisions are expected before the end of the transfer period. In doing so, Polzin is relying above all on continuity and a clear strategy. “I expect us to continue making clear decisions that we have been preparing for over the course of months,” said the 35-year-old. Everyone at the club knows exactly “why we are doing these things.” That is why he is “firmly convinced” that HSV will also find the right solutions in the remaining days.

HSV: Polzin speaks about the Moffi deal

What is beyond dispute is that there is an urgent need for action in at least two positions. The club’s decision-makers are still looking for a reinforcement for the right flank with the quality to be a regular starter. In addition, another player is set to come in up front so that, according to Polzin, the team can be “set up to Bundesliga standard.” However, this is not about rash moves. Rather, HSV want to make “good” decisions.

The second of those two problem areas could be addressed very soon. Terem Moffi was expected in Hamburg over the weekend for a medical. The transfer of the Nigerian forward is imminent and is likely to be finalized on Sunday, or Monday at the latest. But Polzin did not want to officially confirm the deal. “I haven’t seen or met him myself yet,” the coach said, though he added tellingly: “He is a good player who certainly has many qualities that would help us.”
