Erling Haaland sends message to Alan Shearer about Man City pressure to score goals

Erling Haaland is not planning to take the Premier League too seriously as he prepares to make his debut in the competition as Manchester City travel to West Ham on Sunday.

Champions City are the last team to kick off their campaign this weekend, at 4.30pm on Sunday, and all eyes will be firmly focussed on how Haaland starts life in England now the league has begun. He scored on his Blues debut in the US against Bayern Munich a fortnight ago, but was quiet in the Community Shield last weekend versus Liverpool, missing a glorious late chance for a consolation goal.

However, it seems that Haaland will have already put that miss behind him, as he told record Premier League goalscorer Alan Shearer that he has a simple way of handling the pressure of playing as a number nine for the champions.
