The sight of Erling Haaland arriving at Manchester City will send tremors of terror throughout the Premier League - and perhaps to his team-mates as well - as the champions make their statement signing of the summer.
Pep Guardiola’s search for a new No9 looks to finally be over after the champions agreed a £51million deal to sign the Norwegian sensation from Borussia Dortmund. The 21-year-old is expected to sign a five-year deal worth £375,000-a-week as he looks to bring his knack for scoring goals to England after finding the net 85 times in just 88 appearances in Germany.
But as well as some envious Manchester United fans, not everyone at the Etihad will be quite as joyful about Haaland’s arrival in Manchester. Competition for places was already rife at Eastlands and the chances of dislodging Haaland from the starting XI look increasingly slim, with some squad members facing a challenge to keep their City careers on track.
