Former Italy star Antonio Cassano claims Erling Haaland is not the best striker at Man City

Former Real Madrid and Italy striker Antonio Cassano has claimed that Erling Haaland is not the best striker at Manchester City, despite comparing the forward to former Serie A stars Christian Vieri and Adriano.

The Norweigan striker has been in scintillating form since arriving at the Etihad Stadium from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, scoring 10 times in six Premier League matches.

Haaland, who bagged a hat-trick against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, is currently the league's top goalscorer, having scored four more than second-placed Aleksandar Mitrovic, who has netted six for Fulham. Despite Haaland's impressive start to life with Pep Guardiola 's side, Cassano believes that Argentine forward Julian Alvarez has more 'quality' than the Norwegian, likening the former Dortmund man to Vieri and Adriano.
