Super Eagles striker Terem Moffi has officially completed his move to Hamburg from Nice in a permanent transfer worth 2.5 million euros, including a 500,000 euros bonus. The 27-year-old centre-forward confirmed his arrival on Monday. Moffi, who spent the latter part of last season on loan at FC Porto, signed a three-year contract with Hamburg.

Before signing, he underwent medical checks at HSV’s Athleticum of Volkspark. Wearing the number 9 shirt, the Nigerian forward is expected to bolster the team’s attacking options with his physicality, determination, and effective play. HSV’s Director of Professional Football, Claus Costa, praised Moffi’s abilities, stating that he is a formidable striker who will add power and versatility to the squad.

For Costa, the transfer offers Moffi a new chapter in Germany and provides Hamburg with an experienced striker for the upcoming Bundesliga season. HSV sporting board member Kathleen Krüger highlighted Moffi’s physical strength and international experience, which will provide the team with more attacking options. Moffi is anticipated to join his new teammates in training this week, with his first opportunity in a competitive match likely to be Hamburg’s opening Bundesliga game against Borussia Dortmund on Saturday.
