‘Good signing’: Ligue 1 expert impressed by HSV’s new arrival Omari | OneFootball

Last season, HSV newcomer Warmed Omari played only a single league match. However, France expert Stefan Galler is convinced of the central defender's qualities.

For a week now, new signing Warmed Omari has been with Hamburger SV. The 25-year-old was signed on loan from Stade Rennes and is expected to fill the vacant position as the right part of the three-man defense at Volkspark. But how has the career of the professional, who is likely an unknown to most HSV fans, actually progressed so far?

The central defender came through the youth ranks at Stade Rennes and made an early debut with the professionals. He quickly secured a regular spot and made a total of 93 Ligue 1 appearances. However, a loan to Lyon last year led to a significant career setback. At Olympique, Omari only played sporadically. In the league, he played a meager seven minutes. He only managed to gain some match practice in the cup and the Europa League.

Expert assesses Omari's strengths

But Stefan Galler, TV journalist at DAZN and France expert, is enthusiastic about the HSV newcomer. “In Rennes, he even prevailed against today's French national player Loic Baldé. Omari is a really good tackler and header, who loves to defend,” Galler explained in an interview with the Hamburger Abendblatt. The right-footer also brings strengths in build-up play, is technically skilled, and is a modern central defender who likes to play forward.

At the Rothosen, Omari is planned as the right central defender, although he will need a few more weeks to be fully operational due to fitness deficits. However, Galler is confident: “Once he has caught up on his deficits, he will assert himself and stabilize Hamburg's defense.”

With Omari, HSV continues the trend of bringing in talented players from France. Already in winter, the Hanseatic club signed Aboubaka Soumahoro for around two million euros from FC Paris. Additionally, Jean-Luc Dompé, William Mikelbrencis, and Rayan Philippe are three other French players in the squad.

Galler is sure that HSV has made “a very good transfer” with Omari and makes it clear: “The overall package fits him!”
