Rasmus Hojlund was brought in from Manchester United last summer after he was weighed too lightly at Old Trafford. On loan at Napoli, the Dane has shown more of his potential.

Arsenal signed Jesus four years ago from Manchester City, where he quickly took on a major role at the club. In recent seasons, injuries and new signings have given Jesus an extra role. Napoli have other plans for the Brazilian striker.
