HSV secures two strong new additions: Perrin and Sahiti reinforce the team

The Hamburger SV has brought two significant transfers under an exciting deadline day. In the middle of the anticipation for the upcoming season, the traditional club strengthens its defensive and offensive with the newcomers of the central defender Lucas Perrin and the wing striker Emir Sahiti.

Lucas Perrin changes from RC Strasbourg Alsace to the Elbe and receives a contract until June 2026. This transfer falls into a time when the HSV reacts to the previous doping lock of the Croatian player Mario Vuskovic. Vuskovic was closed to the next three years to autumn 2026, which prompted the association to look for reinforcement in the defense area. Stefan Kuntz, the sports director of the HSV, said: "With Lucas's commitment, we have reinforced ourselves again in the central defense position."

an experienced access on the defensive

KUNTZ emphasizes that the obligation of Perrin was one of the declared goals for the summer transfer period, especially in view of the developments around Vuskovic. Claus Costa, director of professional football, also emphasizes the tactical versatility of the new central defender: "Lucas is a central defender who has a high tactical understanding. Perrin, who was not in the Strasbourg squad last season, can look back on a considerable career. The 25-year-old previously played in about 100 Ligue-1 games and is now expected in the best football age at HSV.

Particularly noteworthy is the clear strategic planning of the association, which enables him to sign such experienced players like Perrin without having to pay a transfer. His previous career in Strasbourg comprises 94 competitive games, and his last contract ran until 2025, but the HSV has now won it.

Another important transfer decision concerns the wing player Emir Sahiti. Shortly after the arrival of Perrin, this deal was also made clear to HSV. Sahiti comes from the HNK Hajduk Split and will come to the club for a transfer of around 1.5 million euros. His contract extends until 2027 and he should offer the trainer Steffen Baumgart additional options on the wings.

KUNTZ is enthusiastic about Sahiti: "Emir is a very running player who can be used on both wing positions on the offensive and makes our game even more variable." The two -time Kosovar international is known for his high activity and operational readiness, not only on the offensive, but also defensive. Costa adds: "He is a very brave player who is particularly characterized by his high activity and energy."

The newcomers illustrate the ambitions of the HSV to present themselves more in the coming season. These transfers are an important step to master the challenges of the game and to give the team the necessary depth and flexibility. With these new players, the HSV goes well with the new season.
