Hojlund has admirers at West Ham, and a summer move could be on the cards if Ferguson proves unattainable, it is thought. The 22-year-old has struggled to meet expectations since his £72 million move to Manchester United from Atalanta in 2023, even under multiple managers.
It’s thought Ruben Amorim is reportedly unconvinced by the Danish striker and United are open to letting him go, though they accept they won’t recoup the full amount they paid for him.
TeamTalk say that £40 million bid could be enough to tempt United into a deal if Højlund’s form doesn’t improve. Juventus and several Serie A clubs are also monitoring his situation closely.
While West Ham are keen on Hojlund, they won’t overpay for any target. The club has missed out on signings in previous windows because they refused to meet inflated asking prices, with Bournemouth recently beating them to 18-year-old Lorient striker Eli Junior Kroupi.
