Hamburg Set Up Petition to Get Bundesliga Club to Sign Will Grigg

Sean FayJun 30, 2016

Nobody wants the Will Grigg party to end. 

The Northern Ireland striker became one of the stars of Euro 2016 despite not playing a single minute. 

That was because of the "Will Grigg's on fire" chant, a reworking of the 1996 song "Freed From Desire" by GALA, became a viral sensation around the world.

Now fans of Bundesliga side Hamburg want to get in on the act, so much so that they have set up a petition to get the club to sign the player, who is currently contracted with Championship side Wigan Athletic

The petition reads, as per the BBC, that the signing would "finally bring proper atmosphere to the stadium."

It goes on:  

"

Grigg has a market value of €1.5m. The striker enjoys an international reputation and would probably [pay for himself] several times over through merchandising. The club, and the city… The HSV fans need a player like Grigg.

"

Wigan might think the same, though, and that market value might be far too low. 

Grigg might be the first player to see his value sky rocket all on the back of a chant.
