Will HSV sign Bornauw and Moffi? Here's the latest | OneFootball

It has been almost two weeks since HSV last secured a new signing with Bilal Nadir. Most recently, however, Merlin Polzin announced that further transfers are on the way.

In that context, two names in particular are currently being linked with the Rothosen: Sebastiaan Bornauw and Terem Moffi. But how concrete is the interest really?

One thing is clear: both players operate in positions where HSV still has a clear need for improvement. While Bornauw is being considered as a replacement for Luka Vuskovic and thus as a possible leader of the defense, Moffi could provide the hoped-for reinforcement in attack. According to information from Mopo, however, both players are merely on a shortlist featuring several candidates. So there can be no talk of an agreement or an imminent deal.

These are the HSV candidates Bornauw and Moffi

For the time being, signing a new defensive anchor is likely to be the top priority. That is where Bornauw comes in. The 27-year-old Belgian has already played in the Bundesliga for 1. FC Köln and VfL Wolfsburg before moving to Leeds United last summer. There, however, he was only used irregularly. Standing 1.91 meters tall and with his experience, Bornauw would generally fit HSV’s profile. However, his contract in England still runs until 2029, which could make a transfer financially challenging. A loan move would therefore also be conceivable.

There is likewise no especially strong lead on Moffi so far. The Nigeria international is under contract with OGC Nice, but is said to be open to a move. The 27-year-old is a quick and physically strong striker who can operate both as a target man and as a runner in behind. With 54 goals in Ligue 1, he has already proven his quality. Most recently, however, his time in Nice and a loan spell at FC Porto were less successful. Even so, Moffi would not be the first player to breathe new life into a stalling career at the Volkspark.
