With every passing match, Erling Haaland's move to Manchester City makes more and more sense. The 22-year-old Norwegian striker has hit the ground running in the Premier League with nine goals to his name in just five matches, with his latest goalscoring triumph coming on Wednesday night as he Nottingham Forest to the sword with a blistering performance in the first half.
His 26-minute hat-trick at the Etihad Stadium was brilliant viewing. Those who criticised the forward after the glorified pre-season clash with Liverpool in the Community Shield will have been watching on from behind their sofas.
On the pitch, Haaland is proving to be a sensation. The reaction he received just for warming up at the Camp Nou last week shows that City have one of the biggest superstars in world football on their books.
