Will the northern rivals pip HSV to Downs? | OneFootball

For several days, Damion Downs has been linked with HSV. However, there are also other interested parties from the Bundesliga.

As Sky transfer expert Florian Plettenberg reported, Werder Bremen is currently considering signing Downs. The eternal Hamburg rival is also intensively searching for a new striker, as Victor Boniface, who is on loan from Leverkusen but suffers from severe knee problems, and Keke Topp have not met expectations so far. The player himself is open to a return to Germany.

Downs transferred only this summer for eight million euros from 1. FC Köln, where he contributed ten goals and five assists to their direct return to the Bundesliga, to FC Southampton in the English second league. However, he was unsuccessful there, accumulating only 275 minutes of play across eleven games. Since the end of November, the currently injured 21-year-old has not played at all.

HSV continues to eye Downs

The Downs, who has already played six international matches for the US national team, longs for more playing time – also to maintain his chances of participating in the World Cup. He could find this opportunity in the Bundesliga not only at Werder Bremen. HSV is also still interested. Given the contract running until 2029, a loan would be the most likely solution.

It is clear that the Rothosen want to strengthen their attack. Because reliance on hopeful Yussuf Poulsen is not possible due to regular injuries. Ransford Königsdörffer has so far failed to adapt to the significantly higher level in the top division, while Robert Glatzel has rarely received the trust of the coaching staff. Thus, the fast-paced Downs would have a good opportunity, despite a botched half-year in Southampton, to quickly become a regular player with the right performances.
