 Pitroipa signed a four-year contract |
Bundesliga club Hamburger SV have signed Burkina Faso international Jonathan Pitroipa for next season. Club officials said they had long pursued the 21-year-old midfielder, who transfers from German second-division club SC Freiburg.
Hamburg sports director Dietmar Beiersdorfer said Pitroipa will stay with the club until 2012 but no transfer fee has been paid.
"We've observed Jonathan closely and are certain that he'll make our team."
Pitroipa has scored four goals for Freiburg this season.
