Hamburg complete Behrami transfer

SV Hamburg have completed the signing of Switzerland international midfielder Valon Behrami from Serie A club Napoli, the Bundesliga club said on Sunday.

The player had already started training with his new teammates at a training camp in Austria on Saturday and the remaining details of the deal were then completed.

Behrami has joined Hamburg on a three-year deal with media reporting the fee to be €3.5 million.

"Valon is a player full of character who has succeeded with every club and was very valuable to his teams," Dietmar Beiersdorfer, HSV chief executive, told the club homepage. "We are delighted to have signed a player like him who will help further stabilize our team."

The Swiss international Behrami has played 48 times for his country and was part of the squad which reached the last 16 of the World Cup in Brazil before losing to eventual finalists Argentina.

Behrami has spent most of his professional career in Italy, playing for Genoa, Verona, Lazio, Fiorentina, along with a spell in England with West Ham United.
