Hamburg reportedly sign Martin Adeline

Hamburg have reportedly signed Martin Adeline for around €4 million, while a separate unnamed-source claim says West Ham were never seriously interested.

Florian Plettenberg, as cited by Claret&Hugh, reports that the German club have completed the move for the 22-year-old Troyes midfielder. This follows the earlier report that Hamburg had agreed personal terms while details with Troyes and a medical remained unresolved. The supplied evidence contains no independent confirmation of completion, so the move remains reported rather than established fact.

Claret&Hugh also quotes an unnamed transfer source saying: “We were never in for him.” That directly denies the summer links, but the source is not named. The Story has never contained a reported West Ham bid.
