Arsenal appear to be preparing for a big summer transfer window as Mikel Arteta looks to build upon the Gunners' excellent performance this season
Rasmus Hojlund has reminded Arsenal, Chelsea and Tottenham why he's one of the most exciting young strikers to have emerged ahead of the summer transfer window. The 20-year-old striker has been heavily linked with a move to the Premier League recently as he continues to impress for club and country.
He marked his first start for Denmark with a hat-trick against Finland, kickstarting his country's UEFA Euro 2024 qualifying campaign in spectacular fashion. Hojlund then followed up his eye-catching performance with a further two goals against Kazakhstan inside the first-half, reminding everybody why he's a coveted player.
Hojlund, who sees his contract with the Italian outfit expire in 2027, has featured 23 times in the Serie A this season, directly contributing towards nine goals. According to La Gazzetta dello Sport, the youngster has been valued in excess of €40million (£35million) amid interest from Real Madrid and Arsenal, who are preparing a 'mega-money' move.
As quoted by The Sun, former Italy international Antonio Cassano has admitted that he sees the resemblance between Haaland and Hojlund, but prefers the latter. He said: "You think about who he resembles, Haaland quickly comes to mind, but I like Hojlund and I don't like Haaland."
Gian Piero Gasperini agrees. The Atalanta boss said: "The characteristics are very similar, especially in accelerations. He is a very fast player, he does the 100 meters in less than 11 seconds.
"For his height, he has a low centre of gravity and an incredible stride frequency. I'm convinced he will have a great career. Technically, he always shows different and better things."
However, while Arsenal fans may be excited by the links with Hojlund, the Dane has already claimed his allegiance is with Manchester United instead. In January, he admitted he is a fan of the Red Devils.
"Now that you ask, I will not hide the fact that I am a huge Manchester United fan," said Hojlund. "So personally, it would be one of the biggest things for me, but of course that doesn’t mean that I would turn down other big clubs if the offers come at some point."

Even if you are a worse striker you will definitely score more goals in your country as long you were going to play against those weak teams like San Marino, Luxembourg, Latvia, Estonia etc

If we can't sign osimhen or kane then this Kid will be awesome but comparing him as our haaland it's too early I just like his style of play and speed great addition if we sell elanga..martial
Would be nice to sign both Kane and Hojlund.. Kane is prem proven, and Hojlund can be his understudy

Nah man this kid is different. Imagine scoring 5 goals in ur 2 first international matches for ur cntry. Not only that but he's been lethal for Atalanta in the Serie A. I've watched almost every match he's played so far. He plays more like the early Lautaro Martinez version rather than Haaland
Gotta take your word for it… let’s see how he progresses… I’ve seen many prospects diminish once the spotlight goes onto them… so let’s see how he handles pressure… but I respect your view 💯

The question is… is anything as lethal as Haaland? I very much doubt so… not everyone is a Haaland and that’s what ppl are quick to compare these days so as to pull the attention and possibly push a move for players… I found the new “Haaland” or new “Suarez” or new “Ibrahimovic” etc… but they always fail to replicate the same level… it’s just always a hype and disappointment follow 🤷🏽

The only one this could hurt is Gabriel Jesus, who faced this situation already.
