The Man City striker will kick-start his Premier League career next season.

Erling Haaland will be ‘very hard to stop’ next season, according to former Chelsea striker Tore Andre Flo.

Haaland completed a £51 move from Borussia Dortmund to join Manchester City ahead of the next season. The Norwegian will join an already star-studded attacking line at Man City, providing Pep Guardiola with a conventional number nine in his squad.

Flo believes City’s style of play suits Haaland, while his goalscoring abilities will make the Premier League champions even stronger.

Speaking to The Sun, he said: “No matter how big the game or how much pressure, he has coped.

“There are a lot of great defenders in England — but even they will find it very hard to stop him.”

He added: “When people talk of having a striker’s instinct, that’s one thing, but to combine it with his quality is not something you see very often.

“Of course there will be a lot of pressure on him at City — but don’t forget he will be playing with a lot more quality around him as well. It just seems to be the perfect fit for both.

“With the type of players he’ll be playing with and the way he scores his goals, they just really look made for each other.

“City put a lot of low balls to the far post and, if you’re a natural goalscorer, that’s what you dream of. He will get on the end of so many of them.

“He’s so sharp at getting in front of defenders, first to so many crosses. High or low, he doesn’t care, he just gets on the end of them and usually scores — he really strikes the ball so cleanly.”
