Töre joined Hamburger SV from English side Chelsea,[5] becoming the third player to switch between the two sides during the 2011 summer transfer period, following Jacopo Sala and Michael Mancienne.[6] Töre played at senior level for the first time against VfB Oldenburg in Marschweg-Stadion at 2011–12 DFB-Pokal Round 1 encounter that resulted 2–1 in favour of HSV, on 30 July 2011.[7][8] Töre made his senior league debut in the Hamburg starting line-up against Borussia Dortmund in the 2011–12 season opener, on 6 August 2011. Before December, Töre managed six assists in 17 games.[9]
