Lewis Holtby has trained with new side Hamburg after completing his a season-long loan from Tottenham Hotspur.

Holtby, who signed for Spurs in January 2013 from Schalke but struggled to establish himself in the starting line-up at White Hart Lane, has wasted no time in getting to know his new team-mates by joining in a session on Tuesday.

A six-month loan spell at Fulham last term proved unsuccessful as the Cottagers were relegated to the Championship and manager Felix Magath criticised the 23-year-old's attitude.

Mauricio Pochettino's arrival as Spurs head coach offered renewed hope for the midfielder, but, despite a promising pre-season, Holtby has not started any of the club's three Barclays Premier League matches so far.

Holtby has scored one goal for Tottenham in 25 league appearances.

Hamburg's director of sport Dietmar Beiersdorfer told hsv.de: 'Lewis has great passing ability and he is going to do us good with his creativity.

'He's just 23 but he already has a great deal of experience in the Bundesliga, the Premier League as well as in Europe and he should now bring that experience here with him.'
