Patson Daka

Signs with Hamburger SV

Daka signed with Hamburger SV after his contract with Leicester ended following the club's relegation to League One, the club announced.

Analysis: Daka scored 68 goals in 125 official matches during his time at Red Bull Salzburg, winning four straight Austrian league titles and three domestic cups, along with a golden boot and league MVP honors in 2020-21. He moved to Leicester in 2021, becoming the first Zambian to score in the Premier League and later netting four goals in a single Europa League match against Spartak Moscow, a feat no Leicester player had achieved since 1958. Across his time in England, the forward made 76 Premier League appearances along with 15 Europa League and 10 Champions League matches. Daka is expected to lead Hamburg's attacking line, bringing pace, pressing intensity and finishing quality to the frontline.
