Schalke 04 have reached an agreement with FC Copenhagen to sign Emil Højlund, according to Fabrizio Romano. The German club now needs to finalise personal terms with the player’s representatives.
Emil Højlund, the younger brother of Manchester United striker Rasmus Højlund, is set to follow in his sibling’s footsteps with a move to the Bundesliga. This transfer comes shortly after another brother, Oscar Højlund, joined Eintracht Frankfurt earlier this summer.
The 18-year-old forward has been a promising talent at FC Copenhagen, showcasing his skills and potential in the Danish Superliga. Known for his agility and goal-scoring ability, Emil Højlund is expected to bring a fresh attacking option to Schalke 04.
The Højlund family has been making headlines recently, with Rasmus Højlund joining Manchester United in February and setting a Premier League record shortly after his arrival.
