Erling Haaland has the potential to follow in the footsteps of Lionel Messi and become the leading player of the next generation, according to Sergio Aguero.
Haaland has made an incredible start to life at Manchester City, scoring 20 goals in 13 appearances across all competitions. So far, the 22-year-old striker has only failed to find the back of the net in two games for City, who paid Borussia Dortmund £51million for his signature in the summer.
The Norwegian has long been earmarked for greatness and City legend Aguero is a big fan. Aguero banged in 260 goals in 389 appearances for the club, but has already seen enough to know that Haaland can reach such heights – and even those set by his compatriot Messi.
