A statement on Cardiff’s website said: “Cardiff City Football Club can confirm that Robert Glatzel has joined Hamburg on a permanent deal, for an undisclosed fee.

“The forward leaves Cardiff City Stadium after two seasons in South Wales, where he scored eleven goals in all competitions.

“We’d like to thank Robert for his efforts during his time at Cardiff City – and wish him all the best for the future.”
