Denmark forward Rasmus Hojlund has completed a permanent move to Napoli, the Italian club announced on Wednesday, following his loan spell from Manchester United last season.

The 23-year-old scored 16 goals in 44 matches as Napoli finished second in Serie A, after failing to settle in two seasons in England.

Reports claim Napoli have spent 44 million euros ($51 million) to sign Hojlund. United paid Atalanta almost 80 million euros for him in 2023.
