Kevin De Bruyne has voiced optimism about the potential of Rasmus Hojlund, who is concluding his loan at Napoli. De Bruyne, who left Manchester City after a decade, joined Napoli as a free agent. He is now witnessing Hojlund’s development alongside Scott McTominay, a former Manchester United player.
De Bruyne’s Assessment of Hojlund
De Bruyne praised the young striker, saying, “He can become a top player; he has great qualities.” He acknowledged that Hojlund faced challenges at Manchester United but has significantly improved during his time in Italy. “He’s still young,” De Bruyne added, emphasizing that Hojlund has plenty of time to grow.
Hojlund’s Future with Napoli
It is widely anticipated that Napoli will exercise their £38 million option to buy Hojlund at the end of this season. Meanwhile, Manchester United seems pleased with their decision to sell him, having acquired Slovenian forward Benjamin Sesko instead. Sesko has been impressive, scoring seven goals in his last ten Premier League matches.
Current Form and Achievements
This season, Hojlund has demonstrated remarkable form. He has netted 14 goals and registered four assists in 37 appearances across all competitions. Additionally, Hojlund has contributed to Napoli’s success by helping the team secure the Supercoppa Italiana title after a 2-0 victory against Bologna.
Napoli’s League Standing
As they approach a crucial match against AC Milan, Napoli currently holds third place in the Serie A standings. They are working to catch up to league leaders Inter Milan in the coming weeks.
