Erling Haaland sent Man City transfer warning with Romelu Lukaku claim

Pep Guardiola has been warned Erling Haaland might not guarantee goals in his first season at Manchester City as comparisons with Chelsea flop Romelu Lukaku are made.

After being priced out of a swoop for England captain Harry Kane last summer, key figures responsible for transfers at the Etihad Stadium turned their attentions to Haaland and have now got their man. City have agreed a £51million deal with Borussia Dortmund over his summer arrival.

Haaland, 21, has emerged as one of the most deadly strikers in Europe during his spell in Germany with a staggering 86 goals in 89 games before his impending £51million move to the Premier League. It comes 12 months after Chelsea splashed out £97.5million on former Manchester United and Inter Milan player Lukaku.
