Hamburg have announced the signing of Nicolai Remberg from Holstein Kiel after activating the player’s reported €2.5m release clause. The 24-year-old joins the Bundesliga returnees as the club’s first signing of the summer.

“Nicolai has continued to develop and work his way up over the past years thanks to his strong work ethic and eagerness to learn,” said board member for sport Stefan Kuntz.

“His physicality and resilience will be a great addition to our squad and our game.”

Remberg played 32 Bundesliga games for Holstein Kiel last season but was unable to prevent the club’s relegation back into the second division following their maiden top-flight campaign. Nevertheless, the 24-year-old was a standout performer and will add an engine room to Hamburg’s midfield.

“I want to bring my strengths to the team, show my physical presence, and win as many battles as I can out on the pitch,” said Remberg. “It’s a real honour to wear the HSV shirt. In my conversations with the club’s management, it became clear what kind of role I can take on here and the journey we want to go on – both as a team and personally. I’m excited and ready for what’s ahead!”
