HSV rumours about Silas and Sikan: what's really going on? | OneFootball

It is considered a done deal that HSV wants to sign a new striker in the winter. Two candidates are already being discussed in the media.

On Wednesday, a report circulated on social media claiming that Hamburger SV is preparing an offer for Danylo Sikan from Trabzonspor. The Turkish portal Sabah Spor reported that the 24-year-old striker is on the wish list of the Rothosen. In January of this year, the Ukrainian moved from Shakhtar Donetsk to the Süper Lig club for a transfer fee of six million euros. This season, he is primarily used as a substitute.

However, according to information from the Hamburger Abendblatt, there is nothing to this rumor. The HSV officials are said to know the player, but there is no concrete interest. The same applies to another circulating speculation: the alleged move by HSV for Silas Katompa Mvumpa. The strong right winger, currently without a real perspective at VfB, could switch in the winter, but the Congolese national player is not a topic at Volkspark.

What is clear, however, is that due to Yussuf Poulsen's recurring muscle injury, HSV is fundamentally considering the idea of signing a striker in the winter. The planning is underway, but concrete steps have not yet been taken. The focus is initially on the remaining six competitive matches until the winter break.

In the background, HSV continues to survey the market. Real movement is expected only with the official opening of the transfer window. Then it will be decided which reinforcements are realistic and truly necessary given the form and health of the current strikers. An extension with Ransford Königsdörffer is planned, and despite rumors of a departure, Robert Glatzel plans to stay beyond the winter.
