Artjoms Rudnevs joined northern rivals Hannover with immediate effect on loan, Hamburg announced via their official homepage.
The Latvian international left Hamburg's training camp in Abu Dhabi to make the medical exam with his new side, which is in Belek, Turkey as both clubs agreed on a loan deal, Xinhua reported Thursday.
Hannover received a buyer's option for their new striker, who spent most of the time on the side-line this season.
