Jesse Marsch makes 'best in the world' Erling Haaland call following his move to Man City

Jesse Marsch believes Erling Haaland will become one of the best players in the world after the Norwegian striker completed his move to Manchester City,

The reigning Premier League champions announced on Tuesday that they had agreed a deal for the 21-year-old. Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain were just two of the clubs tipped to make a move for the prolific Borussia Dortmund striker, but he's opted for the Premier League and will join Pep Guardiola's side in the summer.

His arrival marks the end of City's protracted pursuit of a replacement for Sergio Aguero. Harry Kane had been a target for City but they couldn't reach an agreement with Tottenham Hotspur, though Marsch believes they've secured the services of a player who'll go on to become one of the best in the world.
