Kevin De Bruyne's Erling Haaland prediction to rival Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo

Erling Haalnd can reach 800 career goals if he carries on at his phenomenal scoring rate – according to Manchester City team-mate Kevin De Bruyne.

Haaland, who has 24 goals from 19 games for City this season following his £51million move from Borussia Dortmund, already has 224 for club and country at just 23. De Bruyne, who has provided a chunk of assists for Haaland this season, reckons the Norway star can hit the same high goal numbers as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

Messi has 791 career goals, while Ronaldo holds the all-time record with 819, but De Bruyne is convinced Haaland can potentially set a new record total in the years ahead.
