Signed from RB Leipzig: how HSV plan for Germany talent Bröcker | OneFootball

HSV have secured the services of a promising young talent. As the Rothosen officially announced on Saturday, Mads Bröcker is joining from RB Leipzig’s U19 team.

The 18-year-old midfielder is initially set to play for the U21s, but in the long term he will be gradually introduced to the senior squad. HSV’s long-term plan is clear: the Germany U18 international is to take the next step in his career without excessive pressure and earn consideration for bigger roles through strong performances in the club’s development setup.

HSV sporting director Claus Costa sees great potential in the new signing. “Mads brings a promising profile to his position with his creativity and football intelligence,” Costa explained. The official said he was particularly impressed by Bröcker’s development at Leipzig so far, as well as his first appearances in a Germany shirt. “We see development potential in him and want to gradually bring him closer to our senior team via the U21s,” said the sporting director. Those in charge are convinced “that Mads can continue his development at HSV.”

HSV youngster shone as a provider in Leipzig

The midfielder undoubtedly has the qualities needed for that. Over the past two years, Bröcker was developed at RB Leipzig’s academy. He made a total of 45 competitive appearances for the club’s U17 and U19 teams, scoring six goals and providing another 14 assists. He has also already gained his first experience with Germany’s U18 national team, contributing one goal in three appearances.

An interesting side note: the Bröcker name is by no means unknown at the Volkspark. His father, Fabian Bröcker, was under contract with HSV between 2000 and 2005 and was included in the senior squad on several occasions. His grandfather, Werner Bröcker, also worked as a scout for the club for nearly two decades. Teenage Mads is therefore continuing a family story.
