HSV Sign French Midfielder Martin Adeline

Adeline Joins HSV on Long‑Term Deal

HSV have finalised the signing of French attacking midfielder Martin Adeline from ESTAC Troyes. The 22‑year‑old agreed a contract that runs until 2030, tying him to the Bundesliga club for eight seasons. Sky Germany reported the deal, confirming Adeline’s move to the north German side.

Fee and Contract Details

The Bundesliga side will part with €4 million to secure Adeline’s services. The substantial investment reflects HSV’s ambition to strengthen the midfield ranks. The contract length underscores the club’s long‑term planning for the player.

Separate from Vieira Pursuit

Reports linking Adeline to HSV were initially thought to replace Fábio Vieira, who returned to Arsenal after a successful loan. Sky Germany clarified that the Adeline transfer is unrelated to HSV’s ongoing talks with Arsenal over Vieira. Both clubs continue negotiations, but no agreement has been reached yet.

What It Means for HSV

The new midfield addition gives HSV depth ahead of the next season, complementing existing options. While the club remains focused on signing Vieira, the Adeline deal shows they are not limiting themselves to a single target. Both moves could reshape HSV’s midfield complexion in the coming years.
