Napoli head coach Antonio Conte highly praised the skills of the team’s newcomer Rasmus Højlund, who joined the “Partenopei” from “Manchester United”.
“Højlund is only 22 years old. We signed him from ‘Manchester United’, and it has brought us luck, just like with McTominay. We were aware of his qualities; Rasmus has great potential and can improve. It’s clear that Højlund has great prospects.
We signed Højlund to replace Romelu Lukaku, who will be sidelined for an extended period. Napoli controlled the flow of the match. We need a player capable of holding the ball – this is vital for all teams that want to dominate in matches,” – Conte’s words are quoted by Goal.
