While he is on a break because his national team failed to qualify for the World Cup, striker Erling Haaland is undoubtedly one of the best in the world and we might just have a new Mbappe-Haaland rivalry. In an interview, the legend of France and Arsenal, Thierry Henry spoke about the 22-year-old Norwegian, where he considered him as a “representative” of the school of forwards of the year, considering him with legends like Gerd Muller, Allan Shearer or Filippo Inzaghi.
“He is a new representative of the old school of strikers. What you do is a job, a profession. He only wants one thing, to score goals. And he does it perfectly. I think he will have a six-goal game at Man City, definitely. Let’s consider how many chances the “citizens” create. Will he score 50 goals in one season? Not in the championship, but in 1 season yes.
He is an old school striker. I would compare him with Shearer, with Lineker, with Gerd Müller, with Paolo Rossi, with Filippo Inzaghi”, said the former French striker during the interview.
