Hojlund Shines Quickly for Napoli, Becomes Key Player

Rasmus Hojlund joined Napoli on September 1, 2025, arriving from Manchester United on a loan deal with a €44 million option to buy. Hojlund quickly became a pivotal player under coach Antonio Conte, stepping in to replace the injured Romelu Lukaku. The Danish striker has impressed after two challenging seasons at Old Trafford, where he scored 26 goals in 98 appearances.

The Danish forward, who previously scored 10 goals in 34 matches for Atalanta during the 2022-2023 season, made an immediate impact at Napoli. He scored on his debut against Fiorentina and netted a brace against Sporting CP in the Champions League.

By mid-season, Hojlund had scored 9 goals in 21 appearances and contributed to Napoli's triumph in the Italian Supercup. The player has proven to be a fundamental pillar for coach Conte as the team pursues the Serie A title and Champions League qualification.
