Club Brugge drops Ex-HSV pro Reis, Potts replaces Onyedika

Ex-HSV professional Ludovit Reis has been excluded from Club Brugge’s training squad, and the Belgian side have brought in Freddie Potts as the Onyedika‑Ersatz. The move follows the recent departure of Raphael Onyedika to Eintracht Frankfurt and marks a clear shift in the club’s midfield plans.

Reis featured in twelve league matches during the 2025/26 season, recording no goals and no assists from his central midfield role. His limited game time underscores the club’s decision to cease his involvement in first‑team preparations.

The Dutch club originally paid six million euros for Reis, but his market value has since fallen from seven million to three million euros. This sharp depreciation reflects the lack of impact he has made since joining Brugge.

Former HSV striker Gustaf Nilsson, also no longer training with the squad, is linked with Hannover 96 and Hertha BSC in circulating rumors. Nilsson’s career statistics total fifty‑three appearances, eleven goals and five assists across all competitions.

Potts, a twenty‑two‑year‑old midfielder from West Ham United, arrives on a ten‑million‑euro valuation deemed market‑fair. He previously worked under his father, co‑coach Steve Potts, and made twenty‑two Premier‑League appearances in West Ham’s relegation season.

Onyedika’s transfer to Eintracht Frankfurt was confirmed earlier this week, prompting Brugge to present Potts as the defensive midfield replacement. The club highlighted the signing on Tuesday as a direct response to the vacancy.
