Hamburger SV forward Tatsuya Ito is keen to leave the club, according to a report dated 23 May from German newspaper Hamburger Morgenpost.

Ito has strong desire to play, but it seems like the second division German club feel that it is not a possibility and want to loan him out. They will let the new incoming manager decide if the Japanese forward should be retained.

Known for his dribbles, Ito made his Bundesliga debut last season and went on to play 20 matches and register three assists. Much was expected of him when this season began – his shirt number was changed from “43” to “11” – but the forward made no real impact as he finished the 2018/19 season with no goal or assist in 14 match appearances.
