Former Tottenham and Aston Villa goalkeeper Brad Friedel has claimed that many of the Premier League strikers from previous eras would equal Erling Haaland's incredible scoring feats at Manchester City were they playing in Pep Guardiola's team.
Haaland has enjoyed a remarkable start to life in England, with 17 goals in just eleven Premier League appearances so far for City. This means that he only requires one more goal to match the total of 18 which won the Golden Boot award for players in both the 1997/98 and 1998/99 campaigns respectively.
However, Friedel, who made more than 500 Premier League appearances says that strikers from that era would match his feats were they playing in Guardiola's Manchester City side. This includes both Thierry Henry and Didier Drogba, who played in two of the best ever Premier League teams under Arsene Wenger and Jose Mourinho respectively.
