Outstanding player and as an Englishman, glad to see him kick in to, arguably, a higher gear. Particularly as it’s not for a direct rival. The reality is, it was never in question. He’s an elite striker and was the best one available on the market.
Would have loved to see him at United, but you have to be truly naive to think Levy would have sold him for less than £100m. I don’t even think £120m would do it, possibly not even £140m. With that in mind, we did the right thing diverting our attention elsewhere. Even though Hojlund is a gamble and might not work out, that’s a hill I’d be willing to die on.
