Overview

• The 22-year-old joined Napoli on a season-long loan from Manchester United after Ruben Amorim deemed him surplus to requirements, despite his preference to stay and compete following new attacking signings.
• He has scored four times in six outings across Serie A and the Champions League, equalling his four Premier League goals for United last season.
• Lazio’s Gustav Tang Isaksen says Italians “always say he’s one of the best,” reflecting a rapid elevation of Hojlund’s standing in Serie A.
• Denmark head coach Brian Riemer says Hojlund has the quality for both leagues and notes that a well-functioning team that provides service maximizes the striker’s effectiveness.
• Hojlund credits feeling more carefree for his resurgence and has extended that form to international duty with three goals across wins over Belarus and Greece.
