""Since he first joined us, he has already progressed to become a dominant player in that role, because he's starting to understand the right positions to take, how to defend the ball, when to come towards it or back off. "He is really well-connected with the team. "In my style of football, the strikers have a very important and special role in the overall approach, and he has huge margin for further improvement.""

Rasmus Hojlund scored twice as Napoli beat Cremonese 2-0, taking his season tally to nine goals in 20 appearances. Five of those goals have come in Serie A, already exceeding his four Premier League strikes last season for Manchester United. Hojlund had chances to complete a hat-trick and has been the most prolific Serie A scorer since the start of the month in all competitions. Antonio Conte notes Hojlund is young, has progressed in positional understanding and ball defence, and still possesses substantial room for further improvement. Napoli completed 2025 having won the league and the Supercoppa Italiana.
