Hamburg's New Talent Arrives

As Potsdam's second-division player with a right-wing role, Sauter is poised to take the vacant spot left by Dutchman Dani Baijens, now heading to Paris. The Dutchman shared his well-wishes via WhatsApp, acknowledging the heavy shoes Sauter is required to fill.

A Footballing Future

HSV's youth coach Torsten Jansen has a track record of nurturing budding talents and helping them flourish in the first team. Sauter, driven by his ambition, views the Hamburg environment as a perfect platform for his upcoming journey.

Sauter signed the contract at HSV's headquarters on Wednesday, and his girlfriend, Sophie, was also keen to explore the prospective living spaces – albeit without success to date. Sauter admits that the last few days have been a whirlwind, with his team Füchse competing in the club World Cup in Saudi Arabia (2nd place), returning to play in the 2nd division with Potsdam, and then competing in the European League with the Foxes.

A Versatile and Self-Motivated Player

Sauter is known for his accuracy, quick one-on-one skills, and swiftness. He eyes every opportunity to selflessly serve his team. In their coverage, Regio Sport Hamburg highlights Sauter's potential to fill Baijens' shoes effectively.

Reflecting on his strengths and weaknesses, Sauter acknowledges that he can be a tad overzealous at times, pushing himself too hard and experiencing moments of frustration.
