Bench instead of starting XI: Will this HSV player be off in January? | OneFootball

Within a few weeks, Emir Sahiti has significantly lost his sporting importance at HSV. A winter departure could therefore become a topic of discussion.

Things are currently not going well for Emir Sahiti. The 26-year-old Kosovar, who joined a year ago for around 1.2 million euros from Hajduk Split, has long lost his former regular spot in coach Merlin Polzin's team. In the first two games of the season, Sahiti was still in the starting lineup, but since then, he has almost exclusively been in the role of a spectator. He hasn't even been nominated for the squad six times in a row.

Sahiti is considered a model professional within the club: calm, diligent, never negatively noticeable in the locker room. However, he currently cannot provide any arguments for playing time. On the right wing, he lacks the speed or goal threat compared to competitors like Rayan Philippe or youngster Fabio Baldé. In central midfield, he is clearly at a disadvantage against Nicolai Remberg, Fabio Vieira, or Albert Sambi Lokonga.

HSV wants to reduce its squad

A glimmer of hope could be the home game against Borussia Dortmund (Saturday, 3:30 PM): Due to the yellow-red suspensions of Vieira and Immanuel Pherai, Sahiti could be back in the squad for the first time since the third matchday. However, whether this will be more than a brief high is questionable.

Because it is clear: If his sporting situation does not change by Christmas, the offensive player may reconsider his future. As reported by the Hamburger Abendblatt, Sahiti plans to discuss a possible change of scenery in December with his new advisor Jan Dreyer (DLT Sports Group). Both a loan and a permanent transfer are conceivable. And HSV is unlikely to stand in the way of a move given the current situation.

Since the club is already planning to reduce the oversized squad in the winter, Sahiti could be among the first to be allowed to leave.
