Gojko Kacar Completes Move To Hamburg

Kacar Will For­tify The Mid­field With Ham­burg This Sea­son After Leav­ing Recently Rel­e­gated Hertha Berlin.

Ser­bian star­let Gojko Kacar has today com­pleted a move to Ham­burg from recently-relegated Hertha Berlin. After Hertha were rel­e­gated last sea­son, Kacar was linked with all of the biggest clubs in Europe. After a long nego­ti­a­tion process, Kacar has signed for Ham­burg. The young Ser­bian has spo­ken about his delight at the move:

“I am very happy that it worked out effec­tively. The last few days were a bit hec­tic, so I am happy now to go to team’s train­ing camp. HSV is a great club that has a great his­tory and want to achieve great things. I think I can develop myself at HSV opti­mally and con­tribute with my strengths. It is the ideal club for me. That’s why I’m here and I want to stay here for a long time.”

After Ham­burg have already com­pleted the sign­ings of defen­sive duo Den­nis Diek­meier and Heiko West­er­mann, HSV cer­tainly are mak­ing their inten­tions clear. A push for a Euro­pean spot will be the min­i­mum they will hope for, after for­ti­fy­ing an already strong side. Kacar is able to slot into the mid­field or into the back­line, and will pro­vide a bat­tling, deter­mined pres­ence in the team.

Kacar will most likely slot into mid­field next to David Jarolim and Ze Roberto, and func­tion as the hold­ing mid­fielder behind the two. In the future, Kacar could be a very able replace­ment for Jarolim, whose legs are begin­ning to go as he moves into his mid-thirties.

Kacar made 64 league appear­ances for Hertha Berlin after join­ing from Vojvo­d­ina in the 07–08 sea­son. Kacar has also been capped 18 times for his national team, and rep­re­sented Ser­bia dur­ing the World Cup as well.
