Hojlund Aims to Emulate McTominay at Napoli After Scoring Start to Loan
The 22-year-old says the move is about learning under Antonio Conte.
Overview
- He joined Napoli from Manchester United on a season-long loan that carries a potential obligation to buy worth around €50m.
- He scored on his debut in a 3-1 win over Fiorentina as Napoli opened with four straight league victories to lead Serie A.
- He said Serie A feels more tactical with more man-to-man duels, contrasting it with the Premier League’s faster, more physical tempo.
- He admitted he is not yet a complete centre-forward and set a goal to become a higher-volume scorer through continued development.
- He noted the team awaits Romelu Lukaku’s return and said he is improving his Italian to better take on Conte’s instructions.
