HSV have had a complicated start to the season, including a few setbacks. One player, however, remains unfazed and is on the rise.
That player is, of course, teenage sensation Louis Lemke. The 16-year-old started in two of the team’s five competitive matches and came off the bench twice. He delivered a remarkably mature performance both in the DFB Cup clash against SC Verl (3-0) and in the Bundesliga against Borussia Dortmund (0-2).
It is therefore only logical that Lemke is the big winner of the latest update from transfermarkt.de. After the first four matches of the season, the well-known football portal adjusted the market values of Bundesliga players. Lemke made a huge leap, with his valuation rising from €300,000 to €5 million. That represents an increase of no less than 1,566.67 percent.
Aside from the left-back, however, only three other HSV players benefited. Academy products Otto Stange and Shafiq Nandja are now valued at €5 million and €1.5 million respectively. In-form Albert Grønbaek also jumped from €5 million to €7 million.

Overall, though, HSV’s highly mixed start to the season is also reflected in the new market values. Right-back Zakaria El Ouahdi in particular felt the impact, recording a drop of €5 million and now being valued at just €12 million. Fabio Vieira (€15m) and Terem Moffi (€5m), meanwhile, have to accept a €3 million decrease. Sebastiaan Bornauw, Martin Adeline, Immanuel Pherai, Miro Muheim and Sander Tangvik were also downgraded to varying degrees.
The logical consequence: the overall value of the HSV squad fell by €8.1 million. If his team gets back on track after the international break, however, Merlin Polzin is unlikely to care much about that development. Anyone familiar with football’s fast-moving nature knows one thing anyway: by the next update, the situation at HSV could look completely different again.
