Arsenal fans all say the same thing as striker dubbed the ‘next Haaland’ scores hat-trick in first international start

ARSENAL fans all said the same thing after reported transfer target Rasmus Hojland ran riot for Denmark in his international debut.

The Atalanta hitman – who has been compared to Erling Haaland – led the line for the Danes in their Euro 2024 qualifier against Finland on Thursday night and bagged a hat-trick in the Nordic clash.

Hojland’s man-of-the-match display quickly did the rounds on Twitter and impressed many of the Emirates faithful.

One Arsenal fan tweeted: “Hojland is the next Haaland .”

Another said: “We need Hojlund @ Arsenal.”

And another said: “Players linked with Arsenal scoring today 9Declan Rice and Hojlund).”

One remarked: “Arsenal, kindly bring Hojlund Rasmus to the carpet.”

Denmark chief Kasper Hjulmand was full of praise for Hjoland – who the Gunners are reportedly willing to splash £44million – after the match.

“There is no doubt that the World Cup break was good for Rasmus.

“During that period he trained extremely well and hard to put in more effort.

“He gained a better understanding of the language, of Gasperini and how Atalanta played.

“It has been helped to move him.

“But you never know what would have happened. You can always think.

“We will never get an answer to that.”

He added: “We are happy that he has reached where he is now.

“He is still a young player who still has a lot to learn.”

Hjoland and his Denmark team-mates will be back in action on Sunday afternoon, travelling to the Astana Arena to take on Kazakhstan.
