Erling Haaland has hailed Virgil van Dijk as the best defender he has faced in the Premier League this season.
Haaland has taken the Premier League by storm, plundering 36 goals in 34 appearances for Manchester City. The Norwegian has immediately settled into Pep Guardiola’s side and has eight goals more than Tottenham ’s Harry Kane, the next nearest contender for the Golden Boot.
The 22-year-old has gotten the better of just about every defender he has come up against this season. His strength, pace and knack for being in the right place at the right time has made him a nightmare to defend against, but some have done it better than others.
