Erling Haaland is tearing up the Premier League with 15 goals in his first nine appearances with comparisons being made to the original Brazilan Ronaldo but former top-flight goalkeeper Rob Green has picked out another striker who reminds him of the Norweigen - former Sunderland man Kenwyne Jones.
Green, who played 267 times in the Premier League, admitted on BBC 5 Live’s Monday Night Club that his choice was ‘left-field’ and prompted chuckles from host Mark Chapman and Blackburn legend Chris Sutton. Green however stuck by his comparison, stating there was nothing you could do to ‘stop’ Jones.
After comparisons were made between Haaland, Ronaldo and Didier Drogba, Green said: “I was thinking this afternoon of a player [similar to Harland] and I was trying to think a bit left-field of someone you're playing against and where you're just standing there thinking 'we just do not know what we can do against him.'
