- Ryan Giggs backed a second look at Hojlund and suggested competition with Sesko could benefit both players.
- Hojlund has rediscovered form at Napoli under Antonio Conte, with Goal.com noting 10 goals in 29 league games this season.
- Transfer reports differ on the loan’s buy terms, with Goal.com citing an obligation near £38m tied to Champions League qualification and Football365 reporting a £43m option, while Napoli executive Giovanni Manna has said the club wants to keep the striker.
