Both versatile players have experience of playing as a striker and could form a fluid front three together with any of Amad Diallo, Bruno Fernandes or Joshua Zirkzee while Højlund watches on from the bench.

The 22-year-old struggled for form in 2024-25, scoring just 10 times across 52 appearances including a 21-match goalless streak.

Rasmus Hojlund scored just four goals in 32 Premier League appearances last season while failing to score or assist in either the FA Cup or EFL Cup. He averaged a goal every 503.3 minutes in the league with a shot conversion rate of 12.
