Elfadli: „Emotional bond with HSV established“

„Daniel has integrated perfectly from day one“, sports director Stefan Kuntz made clear in the context of the extension. „He is an identification figure of our common path.“ Elfadli himself also feels deeply connected to the club: „I quickly established an emotional bond with HSV. This should only be the beginning.“

As the Bild reports, his contract was not only extended but also financially improved. Instead of running until 2027, the new contract now runs until 2028. This means that the North Germans can plan with Elfadli for years to come!

Because despite lacking Bundesliga experience, he also wants to take on a leadership role in the top league. „I absolutely want to be part of a new successful chapter“, explained the right-footed player, who was used as the right center-back of the new three-man chain in the recent test matches. However, it is possible that Elfadli will return to the defensive midfield in the course of further preparation.
