Erling Haaland has set the Premier League alight in the short time he's been at Manchester City, but that doesn't mean he's as big of a prospect as one of his teammates and a former City attacker.
That's according to the CIES Football Observatory, who have devised a new metric — 'Impact Score' — with which to rank the 250 hottest prospects born in the year 2000 or after, across 59 leagues worldwide.
"Impact Score is calculated from the average match level in which players participated according to the 'experience capital' method, their amount of official game minutes played over the last 365 days and their pitch performance compared to both teammates and opponents, as well as with respect to players with the same technical profile as per the role-based approach also freshly developed by the CIES Football Observatory research team," said the ranking compilers.
