DONE DEAL? Hamburg agrees Xavier Amaechi fee with Arsenal

Hamburg SV have swooped for Arsenal teen Xavier Amaechi.

BILD says a deal has been struck between the two clubs, with HSV coughing up €2.5m for his transfer. Amaechi had a deal with Arsenal to 2020.

HSV had been chasing the attacker's signing for several months, while Bayern Munich had also expressed interest in recent weeks.

A move to Hamburg offers the 18 year-old an immediate first team chance with HSV seeking promotion back into the Bundesliga this season.

Amaechi becomes the eleventh signing made by HSV this summer.
