The latest is the turn of 19-year-old younger brother Oscar Hojlund, who plays as a midfielder for Copenhagen, moving to Frankfurt for 1.4 million euros and signing a contract until 2029.
The 19-year-old spent most of last season in the youth leagues in Denmark but did make some appearances for the senior side even playing in the Champions League where he feautred, albeit briefly, against his brother at Old Trafford.
Frankfurt have shown in recent years that they are a great first step for players coming from Scandinavia with Jesper Lindstrøm coming from Denmark before moving on to Napoli.
Frankfurt have officially confirmed the deal, with the club revealing they have beaten off competition from Spanish and Italian sides who are also keen on Oscar.
Oscar is a twin brother of Emil, who joined the Copenhagen academy at the same time, but Emil is currently the only one left playing for the same club, as a striker, like his brother Rasmus.
