Troyes’ Martin Adeline set to join Hamburg

Martin Adeline (22) was one of the architects of ESTAC Troyes' successful Ligue 2 campaign, which ended with them securing their promotion back to the top flight of French football. However, the attacking midfielder is not expected to play in Ligue 1 next season. Instead, he is set for a transfer to Germany, as per a report from L'Équipe.

Whilst the deal is not yet fully completed, talks between Troyes and Hamburg are now at a very advanced stage. The attacking midfielder's deal with L'ESTAC was set to expire at the end of next season. Troyes are set to pocket €6m in the deal, L'Équipe understands.
