Napoli are monitoring Rasmus H\u00f8jlund, with the Italian champions considering making a move for the out-of-favour Manchester United<\/a> forward.<\/p>\n

Antonio Conte, Napoli\u2019s head coach, is an admirer of the Denmark international, and a loan deal is thought to be the favoured option. United would countenance a temporary deal for the 22-year-old, though there is no suggestion that he is being forced out of the club. United are, however, open to his departure due to the options Ruben Amorim now has in attack.<\/p>\n

Amorim left H\u00f8jlund out of the matchday squad for Sunday\u2019s 1-0 defeat to Arsenal at Old Trafford<\/a>, with Matheus Cunha, signed from Wolvesin June<\/a>, deployed instead as the hosts\u2019 centre-forward. Benjamin Sesko, who came on as a substitute, is expected to be Amorim\u2019s first-choice in the position following his recent arrival from RB Leipzig<\/a>.<\/p>\n

H\u00f8jlund is also of interest to Milan. \u201cWe are evaluating him these days, but the transfer market is unpredictable,\u201d the club\u2019s sporting director, Igli Tare, told Sport Mediaset. \u201cWe know that we have to intervene in that position and we also know that they must be players who can give something more to this group.\u201d<\/p>\n

Nottingham Forest have completed the signing of the striker Arnaud Kalimuendo from Rennes for a fee of about \u00a326m. Kalimuendo, who scored 17 goals in Ligue 1 last season, is the latest Forest addition after the arrivals of Omari Hutchinson and James McAtee<\/a>, signed for \u00a337m and \u00a330m from Ipswich and Manchester City respectively at the weekend. Forest are also expected to sign Douglas Luiz, who is keen on a return to the Premier League from Juventus.<\/p>\n

The 23-year-old Kalimuendo, who started his career at Paris Saint-Germain, will provide Forest with welcome attacking depth. Igor Jesus, one of seven summer signings and one of two players to join from Botafogo, will provide competition for Chris Wood, who scored twice in the victory over Brentford<\/a> on Sunday, and Taiwo Awoniyi.<\/p>\n

Forest explored a deal for Rico Lewis but the 20-year-old England defender has suggested he wants to stay<\/a> with City. Pep Guardiola expects Lewis to remain at the club. \u201cI\u2019ve never ever seen myself leaving,\u201d Lewis said after starting City\u2019s 4-0 victory at Wolves<\/a> on Saturday. \u201cI\u2019ve always wanted to play for City. It\u2019s my dream. When I\u2019m playing with the kind of players that I\u2019m playing with, it brings out the best of me. I\u2019m so happy.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Aston Villa winger Leon Bailey is poised to join Roma on loan in a move that could become permanent. The Serie A club will pay about \u00a32.5m for the season and have agreed a \u00a319m option to purchase the Jamaica international. Bailey was used sparingly by Unai Emery last season and is one of several players Villa are keen to offload to generate financial headroom. Leander Dendoncker, who is close to joining Real Oviedo, and \u00c0lex Moreno are among those surplus to requirements. Samuel Iling-Junior and Lewis Dobbin are wanted on loan by Championship clubs.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Napoli are monitoring Rasmus H\u00f8jlund, with the Italian champions considering making a move for the out-of-favour Manchester United…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":92428,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[69],"tags":[403,99],"class_list":["post-92427","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-soccer","tag-soccer","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92427","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92427"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92427\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92428"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92427"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92427"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92427"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
