Overview
- Local reports say Hamburger SV is close to finalising a quick free-agent signing of Patson Daka at its training camp in Längenfeld, but the club has not yet confirmed the move.
- Daka is available after his Leicester City contract ended and is reported to be offered a one-year deal with a club option.
- The potential signing is intended as immediate reinforcement after the summer exits of Ransford Königsdörffer, Robert Glatzel and Damion Downs.
- If the transfer and medical clearances proceed swiftly, Daka could join first-team training in Austria and be available for the friendly against Heidenheim.
- HSV plans to add at least one more striker this window, and the club views Daka’s signing as a cost-efficient first step while relying on existing options Yussuf Poulsen and youth prospect Otto Stange.
