The future number one? Tangvik on his role at HSV | OneFootball

With the signing of Sander Tangvik, HSV has made a clear statement both athletically and financially this winter.

The Red Shorts transferred around 2.6 million euros to Rosenborg BK—more than for any other new signing in the past two transfer windows. The 23-year-old Norwegian is expected to be the future in Hamburg’s goal. Perhaps even more.

In his first media round since the transfer, Tangvik spoke openly about the duel with the established number one, Daniel Heuer Fernandes, who has guarded the HSV goal since 2019. The Scandinavian deliberately chooses diplomatic words. “Ferro is a living legend at this club. It will be tough for me,” says Tangvik. “We will push each other. Only one can play.” Nevertheless, he remains “positive.”

Sander Tangvik: To the World Cup via HSV?

Sportingly, the U21 international seems to fit the profile well. He is familiar with the modern goalkeeper’s game, playing with the ball at his feet. “At my former club Rosenborg, the goalkeeper was also involved in the build-up play,” Tangvik explains. “Maybe not quite as often as it happens here at HSV.” That he is technically skilled comes as no surprise. After all, his career began as an outfield player in his youth. “Back then, I was a striker, a real goal machine,” he says with a grin.

Tangvik also has international ambitions. He is still waiting for his first senior cap for Norway, but he has recently been on the bench twice. “We have many good goalkeepers in our country. Everyone wants to be there and will fight for it,” he says, leaving the door open for the 2026 World Cup.

He has already experienced an emotional highlight at the Volksparkstadion. In the 2-2 draw against FC Bayern, Tangvik was in the HSV squad for the first time and was impressed. “Everyone who said the atmosphere here is crazy wasn’t lying,” the newcomer enthuses. In any case, the young keeper feels very comfortable in the Hanseatic city. Good conditions, then, for a hopefully long stay at HSV.
