Manchester City fans were delighted to read late on Friday night that there had reportedly been significant progress in the race to sign Erling Haaland.
The reports said that City have agreed personal terms with Europe's most sought-after footballer and are in pole position to sign Haaland when his £63m release clause becomes active from Borussia Dortmund. MEN Sport understands no deal is set or agreed but City are in a good position to sign the Norwegian.
As supporters will start to dream of how Haaland will fit in at City under Pep Guardiola, they could do worse than look at how their closest rivals Liverpool have managed to quickly integrate a forward into an already-stellar attack.
