Denmark coach Riemer: Hojlund's Napoli move could not have gone better

Denmark coach Brian Riemer is full of praise for Rasmus Hojlund over his impact with Napoli.

On-loan from Manchester United, Hojlund has been superb for Napoli in the first months of the Serie A season.

Riemer said, "Adapting so quickly and becoming a match-winner twice in a row before this call-up to the national team is a story that could hardly have been written better for Rasmus.

"I'm very happy to have a striker in top form at my disposal. I couldn't ask for a better player as Denmark coach.

"When you come out of a less effective period, you hope things will go well. Even though he's now playing alongside Kevin De Bruyne, it's not easy to live up to expectations and start strong in a team like Napoli, champions of Italy and with very high ambitions."
