Will Erling Haaland Make Pep Guardiola's Manchester City The ... (Forbes)

Borussia Dortmund - Hertha BSC. 14 May 2022, North Rhine-Westphalia, Dortmund: Soccer: 1. · Wolverhampton Wanderers v Manchester City - Premier League.

Guardiola’s team is already one of the best in the sport. “The players who come here don’t come to play for me, they come to play in this league and for this club,” said Guardiola when asked whether Haaland had chosen to sign for City to play for the former Barcelona and Bayern Munich boss. Natural goalscorers are hard to find and Haaland is one of the best produced for a long time. What we do is make them feel happy in the city, in the locker room, playing in the Premier League and many things. At Manchester City, the 21-year-old will be surrounded by some of the best players in the world. This striker-less system has brought the best out of the likes of Kevin e Bruyne and Phil Foden.

Dayle Coleing faced Erling Haalands Norway and was able to do something not many can do - keep Haaland off the scoresheet.

"In the second match away, no one was asking for his shirt because we kind of felt disrespected to a certain degree. "After the game I didn't have any intentions to swap shirts with them. "I think Haaland and [Martin] Odegaard had an interview where they said that the keeper must've had the best game of his life. After the 63rd minute I think it was, he got subbed off without scoring a goal." And fortunately, I had a very good game. So it wasn't like he had a chance, he did have quite a few chances and they were good chances at that.

However, Begiristain reportedly convinced Haaland's camp that the youngster would be able to come in and out of the side when needed at City and manager Pep Guardiola would be able to protect his latest signing and handle any criticism thrown at the Leeds-born forward. The Manchester City duo reportedly travelled to Monaco - where Haaland's late agent Mino Raiola had been battling illness - in early February and made a breakthrough in negotiations for the Norwegian, who has emerged as one of the deadliest finishers on the planet since his move to Dortmund in 2020. After months of negotiations and heavy competition from Europe's elite, Manchester City confirmed this week they have a deal in place for Erling Haaland to join the Premier League champions from Borussia Dortmund on July 1 subject to the club finalising terms with the forward.

Chelsea target tipped to replace Erling Haaland at Dortmund after ... (Football.London)

Rumoured Chelsea transfer target Hugo Ekitike is reportedly being targeted by Borussia Dortmund to replace Erling Haaland, who will join Manchester City ...

Tuchel is expected to be backed heavily in the transfer market this summer once new Chelsea owner Todd Boehly's £4.25billion takeover has been officially confirmed. The attack is an area that needs addressing by Thomas Tuchel and Chelsea this summer, with Mason Mount being the club's top scorer in the Premier League ahead of Kai Havertz, Timo Werner and Lukaku. The French forward has been linked with moves to Chelsea, Arsenal and Manchester United this summer, but it looks as though Ekitike could be on his way to Germany. Borussia Dortmund are in the market for one or two strikers to replace Haaland after Manchester City confirmed the Norwegian forward will move to the Etihad Stadium ahead of next season.

Julian Ward is set to take over from Michael Edwards at Liverpool and he could begin his work by signing his very own Erling Haaland on a free transfer.

However, his refusal to sign a new contract has seen him fall down the pecking order at the club, which has attracted plenty of interest from a host of Premier League and Bundesliga sides. At U18 level, he tormented Chelsea's defence earlier on in the season, scoring a brace. Already, Ward has been taking over the proceedings from Edwards, having been handed more and more responsibility; he was reported to play a key role in negotiations for Luis Díaz back in January.

A case against Erling Haaland's move to Manchester City (The Athletic)

Since arriving at Borussia Dortmund already a teenage phenomenon, Haaland has scored almost once a game, even if you don't count penalties (0.92 non-penalty ...

But to be blunt about it, Haaland’s just not good with his feet, which is an awfully strange thing to say about a player moving to Manchester City. At the kind of wages he’s reportedly on, Haaland won’t have many alternatives if City isn’t working out, and his sheer star power makes him almost impossible to drop. “But he has to help us in the first pressure and run a lot and help us a lot with movement. Instead, most of the things Haaland is good at are things City already do better than anyone, like beating a defence in transition or timing his burst to finish a low, hard cross in the six-yard box. At the start of this season, everyone wanted to know how City would score goals without a striker. If you’re a manager who went bald from worrying over how to stop counter-attacks, you might see a loose touch by a player who immediately takes himself out of position to counter-press. Most importantly, it gave the team an extra passer in the build-up to allow City to build even more carefully than before, which helped the defence get set up to prevent counter-attacks. Dortmund aren’t a counter-attacking side by any stretch of the imagination, averaging 59 per cent possession and moving the ball upfield at just 1.48 metres per second. Shooters create chances at a steadier clip than they finish them, and one reason xG exists is that it’s a more reliable guide than goals to the one thing a buying club really wants: future goals. The obvious rebuttal here is that Haaland’s numbers are somehow even better across 1,464 Champions League minutes than in the Bundesliga. We know he can do this at the highest level. It’s easy to believe, watching him treat the back of the net like it wronged his family somehow, that model averages simply can’t do justice to Haaland’s avenging left foot. His eye-catching numbers are weighted with asterisks and the tactics aren’t exactly easy to envision.
