When Erling Haaland arrived at Manchester City in the summer, he spoke about his excitement at lining up alongside England international Phil Foden. The Norwegian striker was full of praise for the City man - but insisted that the 22-year-old could get even better as a player.
Haaland, who signed for Pep Guardiola 's side from Borussia Dortmund for £51million, had lauded Foden previously, with the pair coming face-to-face at youth level. They also shared a brief conversation on the Etihad pitch after City 's Champions League victory over Dortmund in the Champions League last year.
In his first interview after completing his transfer to the Premier League champions, Haaland described Foden as an 'amazing player', while also suggesting that needed to improve aspects of his game.
