Erling Haaland can give Manchester City a presence just like that of Zlatan Ibrahimovic, according to former Blues defender Joleon Lescott.
City bought Haaland this summer for £51m, and he is with the squad for their pre-season tour in the USA this week, where he could potentially make his debut against Club America on Wednesday night. As excitement builds and City fulfil various commercial activities in Houston, club ambassador Lescott spoke to media about the new season, where he warned other Premier League defences that Haaland will be impossible to stop at times in a City shirt, likening his attitude to Ibrahimovic.
"He looks like he enjoys the physical side of it," Lescott said. "Players like that you don't stop, if they turn it on they win the game. So you try to nullify the supply and frustrate them that way. If it was that easy to stop him, everyone would do it.
