Following an outstanding campaign for Atalanta, Rasmus Hojlund is on Manchester United's list of potential transfer targets.
Rasmus Hojlund scored again for Atalanta over the weekend, and it might not be long before they bid him farewell.
The Times claims that Hojlund is a £40 million transfer target for United, who view the international from Denmark as a player with superstar potential.
Although Hojlund presents more of a "project" than a star who has already been created, like Harry Kane, this is included into the significantly lower cost he would incur.
Hojlund's season-long statistics support his promise. While there is still a long way to go before Harry Kane's record of 28 Premier League goals is matched, it is important to keep everything in perspective.
Atalanta's Calcio reports Only Rasmus Hojlund, who is 20 years old or younger, has scored 10 goals this season in Serie A.
In the league, he has eight goals and two assists. Hojlund also scored four early in the season for Austrian team Sturm Graz and one in the Coppa Italia.
Hojlund's season goal total for club and country stands at a robust 18 goals plus two assists after including five additional international goals.
In a broader sense, Hojlund, the Bundesliga's Youssouf Moukoko, Jamal Musiala, and Jude Bellingham, and Montpellier's Elye Wahi are the only five young players to have scored more than 10 goals in a single season in Europe's top divisions.
Hojlund trails Victor Osimhen, Edin Dzeko, and Arkadiusz Milik in Serie A for shots on target per 90 minutes, according to data from FBRef.
report from BBC Sport Hojlund outperforms Osimhen (51%), who is second in the league, with a shot accuracy rating of 63%.
Additionally, he has a top-10 ranking for 'progressive passes received,' demonstrating his aptitude for finding space in the final third.
Hojlund is only beginning to realize his full potential; there is no assurance that he will go on to become a world class.
