Rasmus’ first hit on the motherlode! Despite a December bereft of any official fixture, Atalanta have been nonetheless embroiled with four friendly international commitments, renowned for their international charm and outlook, that enabled our players to put themselves in the shop window: on the grounds of the votes of our most devoted fans via the ItalianOptic App, Højlund, our Danish diamond in the rough, has clinched his first-ever Player Of the Month Award!

His goal and assist against Eintracht Frankfurt, his goal against OGC Nice and his relentless eagerness to fight for every single ball are nothing but a quick recap and glimpse of all his credits for this month’s POTM.
To turn the tables even more, with his goal against Spezia, despite not being taken into account for December’s award, Rasmus has already scored early points for a backup nomination in the upcoming POTM of January.
On the grounds of his teammate’s performances, Ademola Lookman, inches close to a back-to-back hattrick of the award after his unchallenged rule in the editions of October and November, had no options but to rightfully cede his sceptre as he settled for the second step on the podium.
Third comes Éderson, becoming time and again more and more a pillar of Atalanta’s tactics and one of the goal scorers in the Andalusian outing against Real Betis.

The first of many to come? This is the fans’ wish and Rasmus’ as well. Kudos to Højlund for his first ItalianOptic Player Of The Month!
