Hamburg have completed the signing of right-back Dennis Diekmeier for an undisclosed fee on a four-year contract from Nurnberg.

The 20-year-old has played for Germany at three junior levels and made almost 50 league appearances for his former club after joining them 18 months ago from Werder Bremen.

HSV head coach Armin Veh told his club's official website: "We're very glad to be bringing Dennis here.

"He's one of the top right-sided talents in Germany and there are very few players who can match his turn of pace. He's also able to cross accurately while moving at speed."

Meanwhile, Nurnberg have wrapped up the signing of Belgium international midfielder Timmy Simons on a two-year contract from PSV Eindhoven.

The 33-year-old has moved to Germany after dropping down the pecking order with the Dutch giants.

Head coach Dieter Hecking told the club's official website: "We always stressed that we wanted a player with personality and experience for this very important position.

"I think that with Timmy's signing we have succeeded in this task."

Sporting director Martin Bader added: "Timmy enjoyed a fine reputation as captain of PSV Eindhoven.

"We are pleased that we found a signing from which we can build to make us stronger."
