Pep Guardiola breaks silence on Erling Haaland transfer after Man City confirmed deal

Pep Guardiola has broken his silence on Manchester City’s capture of Erling Haaland and believes the "incredible young talent" will have no problems settling into his side ahead of his £51million move.

The Norwegian sensation has agreed in principle to join the current Premier League champions on a five-year contract from Borussia Dortmund, which will make him one of the highest-paid players at the club. The 21-year-old will follow in the footsteps of father Alf-Inge Haaland, who played for City between 2000 and 2003.

And in the wake of their second successive five-goal win, Guardiola finally gave his view on the club's signing of Haaland after spending weeks dodging questions about the incoming Norwegian, praising his ability and potential to improve in the future.
