Despite mutual declarations of love, Davie Selke's time at HSV ended after just one season. However, both parties parted on good terms.
Davie Selke is like no other player representative for the Bundesliga return of Hamburger SV. In the past season, in which he was instrumental in the promotion with 22 goals, he not only became the top scorer of the 2nd league, but also an important motivator in the team. The 30-year-old enjoyed equal popularity among fans and teammates.
Selke himself still looks back on his time in Volkspark with great joy. Referring to the recently released ZDF documentary "Always Hamburg", he said: "For me, it was brutally emotional to see the pictures. I kept getting goosebumps. These moments will stay forever."
The striker is now under contract with Turkish club Basaksehir Istanbul. And even though the contract extension with HSV did not materialize, Selke emphasizes: "I believed until the end that we would come together. We parted on good terms."
With his YouTube channel "The Selkes – moving to Istanbul", the goal scorer keeps in close contact with his fans and lets them participate in his everyday life. He recently made his special relationship with the Rothosen clear again: "I celebrate you fans. HSV is a special club, will always remain a special club, even though I was only there for a year. I have memories that I will never forget."
Whether there could be a return to the Elbe one day, Selke cannot predict. "In football, it's always hard to plan. I could imagine it, but a lot would have to happen. But, never say never," explained the promotion hero.
