Competition for Muheim? HSV eye up new left-back! | OneFootball

HSV continues to work intensively on its squad. After securing Damion Downs as the first new signing, attention is now turning to another area of need.

According to the portal Fußballtransfers, Hamburg is interested in Jacques Ekomié from French Ligue 1 side SCO Angers. HSV has reportedly already inquired about the possibility of transferring the 22-year-old this winter. The reasoning is clear: they want to bring in additional competition for regular starter Miro Muheim on the left side of defense. His nominal competitor, Noah Katterbach, has yet to play a single Bundesliga minute and could leave the club in the coming weeks.

Ekomié is one of the positive surprises of the current Ligue 1 season. The dynamic wing-back has featured in every league match for Angers this season and has developed into a key player. His strong first half of the season is also reflected in his market value. On transfermarkt.de, his value has risen within a few months from €800,000 to around €4 million.

Most recently, Ekomié was also in action internationally. He took part in the Africa Cup of Nations with the Gabon national team, but was eliminated after the group stage. Nevertheless, the left-back gained valuable experience and played the full 90 minutes in all three matches.

However, HSV is not alone in the race for his services. In addition to the Hanseatic club, several teams from both Germany and abroad are reportedly interested in the Gabonese player. According to reports, Eintracht Frankfurt is particularly keen, and Turkish clubs Basaksehir and Trabzonspor, as well as French top club LOSC Lille, are also mentioned as potential suitors. The competition is fierce!
