HSV complete signing of Emir Sahiti

HSV have been busy on the last day of the summer transfer window, signing winger Emir Sahiti. The 25-year-old with Kosovan roots moves to the Rothosen from Croatian club Hadjuk Split. “Emir is a player who likes to run. He can play on either wing, which makes us more versatile,” said HSV board member for sport Stefan Kuntz about the new signing. Director of first-team football Claus Costa added: “His technical ability is brought to the fore by the effort he puts in and the energy he brings to the forward line. He’s also willing to work hard off the ball.”

Sahiti was born in Zemun, a municipality of Belgrade, on 29th November 1998. The attacker took his first steps into the world of football at Kosovan clubs KF Ramiz Sadiku Prishtinë, FC Prishtina and KF Trepca 89, before he moved to Macedonian first-division side Rabotnicki Skopje in 2015. He moved to Hadjuk Split’s second team from Skopje in February 2018 on loan and the deal was made permanent in August of the same year.
