Hamburg’s Frank Arnesen admits the club may have finished the business in the transfer market
Hamburg SV http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sporting-89-c40576 Director Frank Arnesen has admitted that the club could have done the business in this summer’s transfer market. The club have been active in the past few weeks and have acquired a number of players especially
from Arnesen’s former club, Chelsea.
Rothosen had a mixed season last term as they finished the campaign in eighth place with 45 points. The club won 12 and lost 13 of the 34 matches played in the Bundesliga and were unable to qualify for Europe for the next season.
Arnesen revealed that the club’s focus in this summer’s transfer market was mainly on buying experienced young talent. Hamburg secured the signatures of former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Mancienne-c25332, Gokhan Tore and Jacopo Sala from
Chelsea and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Roberto-c31294.
The Director also admitted that Hamburg can still make a signing if needed but for now the work has been done.
“Right now our focus is on players aged between 23 and 24. But one should never say never. If an older player is on the market that we like, it may be that we strike. Currently, however, very little movement in the market,” Arnesen
was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Chelsea Sporting Director added that signing young players with little experience could be a big risk next season but insisted that the decision would not backfire and the players have the quality to handle the pressure
and play at the highest level.
The former Ajax player is satisfied with his work this summer in the transfer market and stated that he is relishing the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Job-c18684 with the German giants.
“I have a lot to do, need a lot of energy. I try, in between times to have a quiet hour. It is important to also think sometimes,” he concluded.
Hamburg SV will kick start their new season at the Signal-Iduna Park against champions Borussia Dortmund on August 5.
