After Daka and Nadir, HSV still need to plug these gaps | OneFootball

HSV’s transfer activity has noticeably picked up in recent days. With Patson Daka and Bilal Nadir, the Red Shorts unveiled two new signings at once.

Nadir’s arrival in particular means coach Merlin Polzin now has a wide range of personnel and tactical options available in midfield. The 22-year-old Moroccan joins Nicolai Remberg, Kofi Amoako, Sambi Lokonga, Albert Grønbæk, Martin Adeline and Immanuel Pherai in the center, with Pherai’s future at HSV still up in the air.

The situation up front has also eased, at least for the time being. With Daka, the Hamburg side secured an experienced striker on a free transfer who is hoping to rediscover his former success after difficult years in England. Together with Yussuf Poulsen and Otto Stange, he currently forms the Hanseatic attacking unit.

HSV still need at least four more signings

Despite the recent transfer double swoop, there are still several items on the agenda at the Volkspark. HSV are especially keen to find a new defensive leader. The departure of loanee Luka Vuskovic has left a gap that has yet to be filled. Top target Michael Svoboda decided during the World Cup to move to Brighton and Hove Albion, where he will ironically link up with HSV fan favorite Vuskovic.

In addition, the North Germans are looking for another goal scorer as well as reinforcements for both wing-back positions. The aim is to add more quality and depth out wide. Frankfurt’s Elias Baum is considered the top candidate for the right flank. However, according to information from Mopo, an initial HSV offer of between three and four million euros was rejected.

And then there is Fábio Vieira. Signing the Portuguese playmaker on a permanent deal remains the big dream of many HSV fans. Fittingly, Sky reported on Thursday evening that negotiations with Arsenal are moving in a generally positive direction. The big trump card: Vieira himself still wants to join HSV and is waiting for the two clubs to reach an agreement!
