Ghana striker Ransford-Yeboah Konigsdorffer has declared himself ready for the upcoming season in Germany with Hamburger SV. 

The German-born Black Stars forward was close to leaving the newly-promoted Bundesliga side following a move to join French outfit OGC Nice.

However, the deal fell through in the eleventh hour due to medical reasons.

Despite admitting his disappointment over the failed move, Konigsdorffer is poised for the new campaign which begins with a DFB Pokal clash against Pirmasens on Saturday, August 16.

“I am healthy, fully fit, and ready to give my all and I am really happy to be here in Mallorca at this training camp. I had no concerns with returning to HSV; this was never an issue for me as I maintained a good relationship with everyone at the club the whole time,” he told HSV media.

“It’s an intense pre-season with friendlies against  good opponents which has led to some tired legs at the end of it all. Obviously we want to win this game against RCD Mallorca and perform as well as we can, however, we will treat this game like the other games we’ve played so far and use it to test out new ideas. It’s crucial that we are ready for our DFB-Pokal match next week,’ he added.

Konigsdorffer is expected to make his Bundesliga debut against Borussia Monchengladbach on August 24.
