HAMBURG, Germany (AP) — Serbia left winger Filip Kostic has joined Bundesliga club Hamburger SV from relegated Stuttgart.

Hamburg said Kostic, who has played nine times for Serbia, joined on a five-year deal but no financial details were given. The 23-year-old Kostic was one of Stuttgart's better players last season, scoring five league goals.

Hamburg has also strengthened its squad with the signing of 20-year-old Croatia midfielder Alen Halilovic from Barcelona.
