Former Newcastle United defender Steve Howey believes Manchester City bound Erling Haaland shares a number of similar traits to legendary Magpies striker Alan Shearer.
Since he burst on to the scene, Haaland has taken the football world by storm. Joining Dortmund in January 2020, he went on a tear, scoring 13 goals in his first 15 Bundesliga games. During his time in Germany, he has netted an incredible 85 goals in 88 games. The Norwegian forward looks set to join City this summer, with a deal agreed between the two clubs.
And one of Shearer's former team-mates, Steve Howey, reckons their are plenty of similarities between the two strikers. "I mean Alan [Shearer] wasn't slow, by any means but obviously the lad's [Haaland] very quick," Howey told Football Daily.
