Pohjanpalo joins Hamburg SV on loan
Joel Pohjanpalo leaves Bayer 04 Leverkusen to join second division club Hamburg SV on loan. The Finland striker has signed a deal to the end of the season.
Pohjanpalo, whose contract at Leverkusen runs to 30 June 2022, has only made one appearance for the Werkself this season due to a number of injuries. The 25-year-old forward is hoping the move to Hamburg will give him more match time in view of Finland's qualification for Euro 2020.
