Alan Shearer warned Manchester City the purpose of the transfer Erling Haaland that he has big boots to fill when his move to Etihad is over.
On Monday, it became known that the City has agreed terms with representatives of the Netherlands and will lead to the release of striker Borussia Dortmund at 63 million pounds in the summer.
Perhaps the most sought after player in the world now, the 21-year-old has scored a sensational 82 goals in 85 games for the Bundesliga since 2020 and has been the target of several leading clubs, including City, Manchester United, ChelseaBarcelona and Real Madrid.
Although “City” still stood out without the traditional number 9 on their team this season, it is believed that the Norwegian’s signing will make them unstoppable.
Shearer, the all-time Premier League record holder, is also a fan, but warned Holland that he will have a lot to match, given the influence left on City by former striker Sergio Aguero.
Speaking Thursday at the Premier League Hall of Fame, where Aguero was inducted, Shearer said: “Well, they [City] obviously trying to attract Harry Kane last season.
“I think they are also trying to attract Erling Haaland. But if you’re trying to stuff the shoes of a legend who has scored goals all over the world and at critical moments and has been one of the top scorers in the world, it’s very challenging.
“This is what everyone wants and needs, everyone wants a scorer. But, by all accounts, they are quite confident that they will get Hollande, and I hope it will work out, because he would be a great addition to the Premier League. “
In ten years, Aguero has won several trophies and broken many records with the City, including becoming the club’s top scorer of all time and the best non-English scorer in Premier League history.
With 260 goals behind City until his departure last season, Aguero has set quite a mark for Holland, but it will be a challenge that the striker will surely enjoy.
