Second signing confirmed: HSV bring in Giorgi Gocholeishvili | OneFootball

Following the transfer of Warmed Omari, HSV has also confirmed the signing of Giorgo Gocholeishvili. The Georgian is also joining on loan.

The double hit in the transfer market is perfect: Just a few hours after Hamburger SV had already announced the transfer of Warmed Omari, thus closing an important squad gap, the club can now also present a new right-back: Giorgo Gocholeishvili is coming from the top Ukrainian club Shakthar Donetsk to the Elbe. Like Omari, the 24-year-old is being loaned for one year with an option to buy. Bild reports a sum of over four million euros.

Last season, Gocholeishvili was on loan at FC Copenhagen, where he played 33 competitive matches. Nevertheless, the Danes decided against a permanent transfer. For the time being, the 14-time Georgian international returned to Shakthar before HSV knocked on his door.

"With Giorgi, we are getting a player who has an excellent character and a top mentality. He is known as an absolute team player with a great work ethic," explained Sporting Director Stefan Kuntz at the announcement. "With all these attributes, he will do good not only to our defense, but also to the whole team both athletically and humanly."

For Director of Sport Claus Costa, it is clear: "Giorgi brings a high defensive readiness and a good aggressiveness. In addition, he has a very good switching behavior and is able to set accents in the offense again and again. With his qualities, Giorgi fits very well into the requirement profile."

For the new signing, it will not be his first appearance at the Hamburg Volksparkstadion: In the 2023/2024 season, Donetsk played its Champions League home games in the Hanseatic city. "Now I want to gain more great experiences as an HSV player and will give my best," Gocholeishvili is looking forward to. "I am very happy that the transfer to HSV has come about, and I can hardly wait to get started and get to know my new teammates."
