As replacement for Heuer Fernandes? HSV eye second-tier keeper! | OneFootball

Will HSV continue the rejuvenation of the goalkeeping position that began in winter? After Sander Tangvik, another keeper could be heading to the Volkspark.

According to information from Bild, the Rothosen are monitoring Hertha goalkeeper Tjark Ernst. The 23-year-old is one of the standout shot-stoppers in the 2. Bundesliga and has long attracted interest from several top-flight clubs – including HSV.

“We have the best goalkeeper in the league!” Hertha’s defensive leader and former Hansa player Toni Leistner recently said of his keeper. The numbers back up that assessment. Ernst already has eleven clean sheets and has repeatedly earned crucial points for the struggling Old Lady with his saves.

It is therefore no surprise that several Bundesliga clubs are looking at him. Alongside Wolfsburg, Freiburg, Augsburg, Mainz and Gladbach, HSV is also among the interested parties.

HSV: Much depends on Heuer Fernandes

From Hamburg’s perspective, the issue is particularly intriguing because the future of Daniel Heuer Fernandes has not yet been fully clarified. His contract will be automatically extended if the club stays up, but the 33-year-old is said to be interested in a longer-term perspective. If no agreement is reached, a summer sale could become an option.

In that scenario, Ernst would be a logical successor candidate. The young goalkeeper not only delivers strong performances, but also brings plenty of development potential. In addition, the Stuttgart native has a release clause and would be available for around five million euros.

For now, however, Ernst himself is keeping his cards close to his chest. Until the end of the season, he wants to “focus only on football.” But if Hertha – as currently expected – misses out on promotion, a departure could become a realistic option.
