After Erling Haaland’s fantastic start in his journey in the Premier League under Pep Guardiola, the few who had their doubts about the success of the 22-year-old’s move to Etihad have been clearly disproven.
The £51 million acquisition fee for the Norwegian international in the summer suddenly appears to be one of the best bargains in recent memory, and Haaland hasn’t stopped scoring since arriving in England after leaving his former club Borussia Dortmund.
In their Champions League group, City will actually play Haaland’s former squad, a matchup the young attacker is undoubtedly looking forward to given his current form.
In City’s opening game of their European season against Sevilla yesterday (September 6), another brace made it 12 goals for the season in 7 games across all competitions, an unbelievable feat by the Norwegian prodigy.
It is the kind of return that has cemented Haaland’s status among the greatest players in game history. With his total on the European stage alone, the former Dortmund striker has demonstrated that he is a man for the biggest occasion and certainly the missing piece to complement the current Manchester City squad.
