Pep Guardiola addresses Alan Shearer's Erling Haaland comparisons to Harry Kane and Mohamed Salah

Pep Guardiola has responded to Alan Shearer's comments that Harry Kane would score just as many goals as Erling Haaland in the Manchester City team.

Haaland has enjoyed a remarkable start to life at City since his transfer from Borussia Dortmund in the summer, scoring a massive 20 goals in just 12 games so far this season. The Norwegian sensation has seen the Blues finally replace Sergio Aguero after they failed to do so last year.

City attempted to sign Tottenham talisman Kane but were unsuccessful in the chase which left the door open for them to bring in Haaland 12 months later instead. However, Shearer believes that the England captain would enjoy just as much success in Guardiola's side.
