Sergio Aguero finally reacts to Man City replacing him with Erling Haaland

Sergio Aguero has given the thumbs up to his heir apparent and hopes Erling Haaland will score "a ton of goals" for Manchester City.

The Premier League champions have acted quickly to secure Pep Guardiola’s top target, having triggered Haaland’s £51million release clause with Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian landed in Manchester earlier this week and will now have a full pre-season to prepare for his maiden Premier League campaign.

City outlasted Liverpool in a titanic tussle to secure their fourth title in five years - and managed it without a recognised No.9. Following Aguero’s departure at the end of the 2020/21 campaign, Guardiola had hoped to sign Harry Kane, but after those attempts were rebuffed, he opted to bide his time.
