Jacobsen to Anderlecht?
HSV's Danish-born defender Lars Jacobsen came to Hamburg in 2002 from Odense BK, with a good reputation and high hopes of making his mark in the Bundesliga like his compatriots Ebbe Sand, Brian Laudrup or Fleming Poulson did. Sadly, reputation is not enough to make it in top flight football.
Jacobsen has failed to make his mark in Hamburg and has played only 12 matches, scoring once in the process. Coach Klaus Toppmöller had expected more from the 24 year old at the club's training camp in Spain...he has been disappointed by the Dane.
It could well be that Toppmöller considers Jacobsen to be surplus to requirements at HSV, because the player is expected to have a trial at Belgium's biggest club Anderlecht this week.
