Michael Mancienne wants to help Hamburg back into Europe after signing a four-year deal with the German side.
The 23-year-old defender moves to the Imtech Arena after a long association with Chelsea, although he is better known for this three loan spells with Wolves.
He made just six senior appearances for the Blues and will move to the Bundesliga when he returns from England duty at this year’s Under-21 European Championships.
Hamburg finished eighth in the Bundesliga this season and Mancienne has outlined his ambition to get them back into Europe as soon as possible.
He said: “Hamburg are a big club with a lot of tradition and some fantastic fans. It’s a big challenge for me to be able to play for this club. It would be great if I could play a part in helping Hamburg get back into Europe.”
