Almost a goal a game: HSV eye 2. Bundesliga striker | OneFootball

Hamburg’s attacking department is already showing promising early form. Patson Daka, Yussuf Poulsen, and Otto Stange have all already made an impression in preseason. Even so, HSV still want to sign another striker.

Terem Moffi of OGC Nice has emerged as the supposedly most promising candidate. On Sunday evening, the Hamburger Abendblatt reported that the deal could possibly be finalized “in the foreseeable future.” However, it does not seem to be quite that far along. Most recently, Abendblatt and Bild both reported that a swift completion is not yet to be expected.

In any case, 27-year-old Moffi is not the only forward on the radar of the decision-makers at Volkspark. Naturally, the HSV bosses are looking at several candidates. Recently, Daniel Jebbison of AFC Bournemouth was also linked with the Rothosen.

On Wednesday afternoon, transfer journalist Ekrem Konur also revealed on X that HSV are additionally monitoring Mateusz Zukowski of 1. FC Magdeburg. According to the report, the club from Saxony-Anhalt would ideally like to keep the 24-year-old, but a move to a higher division this summer cannot be ruled out. Newly promoted Bundesliga side SV 07 Elversberg are also said to have registered their interest.

That Zukowski has caught the eye of several clubs comes as no surprise when looking at his stats. Last season, the Pole scored an impressive 17 goals in 21 second-division matches and added three assists. In doing so, he almost single-handedly saved FCM, who had struggled for a long time, from relegation to the 3. Liga.

What’s more, Zukowski does not seem to have lost his flow over the summer break. In his team’s crushing 1–6 opening defeat against Eintracht Braunschweig, he was one of the few players to stand out and scored to make it 1–4 while his side were down a man. It is therefore hard to escape the impression that the 1.85-meter man has outgrown Magdeburg in terms of quality. Even so, it remains to be seen whether his path will actually lead him to HSV.
