As reported by Football Italia over the last few weeks, Hojlund has always been the main Napoli target to replace Lukaku, and the Partenopei are now close to signing the ex-Atalanta star.

Napoli are expected to secure the striker’s services on an initial loan deal with an obligation to buy for €45m.
