Former Newcastle and Tottenham striker Les Ferdinand believes it is a 'bit early' to place Erling Haaland among the Premier League's greatest forwards because the Manchester City star has only been here for one season.
Haaland surpassed Alan Shearer and Andy Cole as the highest one-season goalscorer in Wednesday's 3-0 win over West Ham. The Norwegian latched onto Jack Grealish's through-ball and dinked over Lukasz Fabianski for City's second on the night and his 35th goal from 31 league games.
It also took him to 50 across all competitions for the season, with the seemingly unbreakable record of 63 goals scored by Everton legend Dixie Dean in 1927/1928 now a faint possibility. But Ferdinand insists the Blues star cannot be placed among the best until he proves himself over multiple years.
