Jamie Carragher explains Jurgen Klopp's reaction to Man City transfer for Erling Haaland

The 21-year-old completed a £51m move to the Premier League on Tuesday, subject to the finalisation of personal terms — ending the Blues' pursuit of replacing attacking stalwart Sergio Aguero. Haaland will arrive in Manchester with a huge reputation following his goalscoring exploits with RB Salzburg and, more recently, Borussia Dortmund.

"You can see it when you watch him play, I've seen him at times in the Champions League, he's like a battering ram just knocking people out the way and for such a young lad, that physicality," former Liverpool defender Carragher said to Sky Sports.
