Erling Haaland has been backed to suffer with the same problem as Romelu Lukaku at Chelsea should he complete a switch to move to Manchester City by Paul Merson. The Norwegian has been linked with a switch to the Etihad Stadium, as well as a move to Chelsea and Man United in the past.
It has been suggested by our colleagues at the Manchester Evening News that the reigning Premier League champions are edging towards a deal for the Norwegian hitman as Pep Guardiola aims to add to his attacking options at the Etihad Stadium. Having harnessed the reputation as one of the most fearsome goalscorers in Europe with Borussia Dortmund, on paper at least he looks to be an excellent signing.
Nevertheless, former Arsenal playmaker Merson has suggested that his Premier League career could go the same way as Romelu Lukaku's Chelsea move - the Belgian having only netted on five occasions in the league since his club record switch from Inter Milan.
