Richard Keys and Andy Gray row over Erling Haaland transfer after Jadon Sancho comparison

Pundits Richard Keys and Andy Gray got into a heated debate as they discussed Erling Haaland's blockbuster move to Manchester City - with Keys insisting that Haaland still has to 'prove himself' just like his old Borussia Dortmund team-mate, Jadon Sancho.

City confirmed on Tuesday afternoon that they had agreed a deal 'in principle' with Dortmund worth £51million to sign Haaland. The 21-year-old was one of Europe's most coveted stars after firing 85 goals in just 88 games for Dortmund, but a release clause enabled City to pull off the heist of the century by luring him to the Etihad for a knockdown fee.

But despite the duo agreeing that City had bagged a bargain, Keys was adamant that Haaland still has to prove that he is "the real deal". And to emphasise his point, Keys outlined that Sancho was billed as a "boy wonder" before joining Manchester United last summer but has flopped in the Premier League.
