Man City told why Erling Haaland won't be a Premier League game changer

Manchester City sealed one of the most exciting transfers in recent football history last month, when they activated the £51m release clause in Erling Haaland's Borussia Dortmund contract.

The deal brought an end to City's long hunt for an elite striker, which had seen Pep Guardiola's side try and fail to sign Lionel Messi, Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo over the past two years.

This time the Blues made sure to get their man, beating out Real Madrid to bring the 22-year-old to the Etihad Stadium. However, according to former Liverpool defender Jamie Carragher, Haaland will not prove to be a game changer for City in the Premier League.
