Overview

• On a season-long loan from Manchester United, Rasmus Hojlund has started fast for Napoli with four goals in six appearances across Serie A and the Champions League.
• Antonio Conte said Hojlund “was on the sidelines at Manchester United” and praised his potential to become a star as the striker thrives in Naples.
• Manchester Evening News reports CIES estimates now place Hojlund’s value at roughly £67.7m–£78.1m, raising the prospect United could forgo around £30m if a £38m obligation to buy is activated.
• Fabio Capello wrote that Hojlund looks more mature and driven to redeem himself after his Old Trafford spell, crediting Conte for unlocking his form.
• Hojlund told Radio Kiss Kiss that “Conte is a top coach” and called Napoli the right step for his career after initially expressing a wish to stay and fight for his place at United.
