Hamburg sporting director Claus Costa, manager Merlin Polzin and assistant manager Loic Fave played crucial roles in convincing Southampton star Damion Downs to join the German club.
Last summer, Southampton splashed cash in the market to add firepower in their striking department and brought in Downs from 1.FC Koln.
However, the 21-year-old is yet to score a goal for the Saints and he suffered an injury in late November which has kept him out of the squad since then.
