Another new face: HSV sign right-back from Champions League club | OneFootball

The HSV is continuing its transfer offensive: In addition to Wamed Omari, the signing of Giorgi Gocholeishvili is also looming!

After relatively quiet weeks, Hamburger SV is gearing up: With Giorgi Gocholeishvili, the Bundesliga promoted team is bringing in another defensive newcomer, according to consistent reports from Bild and Hamburger Abendblatt. The Georgian national player is coming to the Elbe on loan from Ukrainian top club Shakthar Donetsk, with the HSV also securing a purchase option.

Right-back Gocholeishvili underwent his medical check at UKE on Wednesday morning, parallel to center-back Wamed Omari, who is also close to signing. Both transfers are expected to be finalized soon. The two newcomers are then expected to join the training camp in Mallorca in the coming days.

HSV strengthens its defense!

Gocholeishvili is planned as a wing player for the right defensive side. In this role, he is expected to replace William Mikelbrencis, who, like Silvan Hefti, is still uncertain about his future in the squad. The HSV apparently plans to give up at least one of the two to make room for the newcomer.

Because the 24-year-old brings a significant amount of international experience to Hamburg: He is currently a regular player for the Georgian national team and was part of the squad for the 2024 European Championship. In the previous season, Gocholeishvili was loaned to FC Copenhagen, where he played 33 competitive games across all competitions. Previously, he had received less playing time than hoped for at Donetsk.

With Gocholeishvili and Omari, the HSV is thus specifically strengthening its previously shaky defense. After the partly high test match defeats, sports director Stefan Kuntz had already announced that he wanted to take action on the right side as well as in the center in the near future.
