Manchester United have agreed a £72m deal to sign Denmark international striker Rasmus Hojlund from Serie A side Atalanta.
The 20-year-old will move to Old Trafford for a fee of £64m, plus a potential £8m in add-ons.
Hojlund joined Atalanta in August 2022 and scored 10 goals in 34 appearances last season.
His United contract will be for five years, with the option of an additional season.
Hojlund will be United manager Erik ten Hag’s third signing of the summer after midfielder Mason Mount joined from Chelsea for £55m and Inter Milan goalkeeper Andre Onana for £47.2m.
Although United had been attempting to keep the fee below £60m, Hojlund was Ten Hag’s first choice for the striking position.
