Erling Haaland: Manchester City striker’s record is like ‘Ronaldo and Messi’
Speaking as a pundit on Sky Sports, former Liverpool striker Daniel Sturridge described Haaland’s goalscoring record as “ridiculous”.
“He is obsessed with scoring goals,” he said. “You can see he has it in him, he wants to be more than just a goalscorer.
“When you play Haaland, he has so much to his game we are not seeing. Ninety-one goals, it’s incredible, ridiculous. Players like him are so rare.”
Former Liverpool and Tottenham midfielder Jamie Redknapp said Haaland has “brought strikers back into fashion”.
He said: “Any kid watching that wants to be a striker.
“A lot of managers are like sheep and they see Manchester City’s success and they all want a number nine.”
Former Manchester City defender Micah Richards said: “He is having to adapt his game because Manchester City always have the ball.
“He has to adapt his game in the box and that is what he deserves credit for. He was constantly making those runs to create space.”
