Napoli’s on-loan striker Rasmus Højlund is thoroughly enjoying his return to Italian football, with his father, Anders Højlund, confirming the striker’s immense happiness in Naples.
According to a report from Get Football News Italy (GFNI), the family is delighted with his integration and early performance for the Serie A champions.
Speaking to Il Mattino (via TuttoMercatoWeb), Anders Højlund stated that the attacker is “crazy about Napoli,” expressing praise for the team, the devoted fanbase, and the city environment.
This enthusiasm follows a period of notable success for Højlund, who has hit the ground running, scoring four goals combined in his initial Serie A and Champions League appearances this season.
Højlund’s father also highlighted the unwavering support system and his son’s professional drive, emphasizing his commitment to the sport.
“We have always been by his side and supported him from the first moment. He is a loving and very ambitious boy,” Anders Højlund remarked.
The ambitious player’s motivation, according to his father, stems from a childhood goal to emulate one of football’s greatest figures. Anders Højlund also expressed his personal enjoyment of the environment:
“I have already been to the Maradona to attend two matches and I liked them both, I can’t wait to experience other emotions this special.”
The positive outlook from the family suggests a strong future for Højlund at the club
