Napoli set Hojlund a 20-goal target as Allegri eyes new level from Dane
Napoli and head coach Massimiliano Allegri have reportedly set Rasmus Hojlund an ambitious 20-goal target for the season. The Danish forward, who arrived on loan with an option/obligation to buy, is being asked to step up and become the focal point of Napoli's attack. Allegri is known for demanding high work rate and clinical finishing from his strikers, and the 20-goal benchmark signals the club's expectation that Hojlund can deliver consistently in Serie A. The target underlines Napoli's faith in the young forward while raising the pressure on his shoulders to justify the investment.

After a difficult spell in the Premier League, the Danish striker has been handed a clear numerical mandate by Allegri: 20 goals. That kind of public target is as much psychological as it is sporting — it signals Allegri's confidence in the player while also putting a spotlight on his output. For Napoli supporters, the benchmark sets a tangible measure of success for a season in which the club expects to compete at the top end of Serie A.
