Former Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has claimed that he wanted to sign Manchester City star striker Erling Haaland while in charge at Stamford Bridge. It comes as the current Everton boss prepares to face off against the Norwegian talisman in their next Premier League clash.
Haaland has become a feared player for many since joining City in the summer from Borussia Dortmund, already hitting 20 Premier League goals in just 14 appearances - the quickest anyone in the era of the new top division has reached such a target. It truly begs the question of just how many he can bag this season as a whole.
Alan Shearer believes that he can hit as many as 40 goals this season, while Haaland refused to answer on whether he had a target to hit. He told Amazon Prime: "I got one but I cannot say. You know this.”
