Overview
- Rasmus Hojlund scored both goals in Napoli’s 2-0 win at Cremonese, a result that left Conte’s side one point behind AC Milan.
- The Dane’s December revival includes a brace against Juventus, a goal versus AC Milan, and now another double to close out the year.
- His tally stands at six Serie A goals and nine in all competitions, already surpassing his Premier League total for Manchester United in far fewer matches.
- Italian great Christian Vieri told La Gazzetta dello Sport that Hojlund is potentially one of the world’s five best strikers, noting Conte must decide how to reintegrate Romelu Lukaku when fit.
- Hojlund is on a season-long loan from Manchester United that multiple reports say could become permanent if Napoli secure Champions League qualification.
