HSV swoops for Vyachesslav Hleb from Stuttgart!
Just before the transfer window was due to close, HSV swooped for the younger brother of the Stuttgart star Aliaksandr Hleb. His name is Vyachesslav, and he is a midfielder in the Belarus under-21 national team. HSV had wanted to sign him last summer, but couldn’t agree terms.
On Friday afternoon (30.1.04), Hleb put pen to paper on a deal which will keep him at the AOL Arena until June 20th 2006. Hleb has been given the number 11 shirt at HSV.
In the other way around the Danish Lars Jacobsen signed for the Danish first division club FC Copenhagen yesterday. HSV let the right back go on a free transfer. Should Jacobsen be sold on to another club, HSV would receive some of the money but Anderlecht didn t showed interest in signing the player after a week trial early this month.
