Manchester City's potential Erling Haaland transfer mistake outlined a Harry Kane claim made

Earlier this month Manchester City announced the signing of Erling Haaland, "subject to the Club finalising terms with the player," with the 21-year-old set to make the move to the north-west in a couple of months. The Norwegian has been at Borussia Dortmund for a couple of years, impressing in the Bundesliga for such a previously inexperienced player.

This season, Haaland has scored 22 goals and registered eight assists in just 24 league appearances, also bagging three goals in as many Champions League appearances. The Premier League title won't be decided until the final day of the season, but the youngster's new club currently have a one-point lead at the top of the table and know victory over Aston Villa on Sunday will see them safely home.

Last summer and even at the beginning of this season, there was overwhelming doubts over Harry Kane's future in north London, with the England captain heavily linked with a move to the Etihad. After a slower start to the season than anyone would've hoped for, Kane has been back in form and has scored 16 goals and registered eight assists, in his 36 league games.
