Erling Haaland Reveals What Fans Can Expect From Him In The Premier League This Season

It’s a natural assumption to make that football fans across the globe will flock to their screens to keenly watch Erling Haaland in a Manchester City shirt next season.

Ever since the Norwegian burst on to the scene for RB Salzburg during the 2019/20 Champions League campaign, he has quickly cemented his reputation as one of the world’s most devastating goalscorers.

However, fans across all clubs are curious to discover how he adapts to the Premier League from the Bundesliga, with the former widely considered as the outright best division in Europe for the past couple of years.

There are many that believe that Erling Haaland will slot in straightaway in sky blue next season for various reasons.

Firstly, the Leeds-born striker’s searing pace coupled with his towering stature make him tailor-made for the incredible levels of physicality demanded by the English top-flight.

To add to that, the former Borussia Dortmund talisman is joining a Manchester City side that have been statistically right up there amongst the very elite in terms of creating high-quality chances over the years.

With the best possible service at his disposal and the opportunity to work alongside the masterful Pep Guardiola, many hold the opinion that Erling Haaland’s rousing success in England is a foregone conclusion.

While one can break down how the striking sensation will fare in English football for days on end, the man himself explained what he can bring to the Premier League.

“Hopefully more quality, I want to have fun. When I have fun, I score more goals. I hope to smile a lot”, he stated at a recent fan event on Sunday.

Erling Haaland’s simplistic approach is set to be replicated by Pep Guardiola and his staff, as reports have suggested that they will not tweak the system in place to fit him in, but rather allow the player to adapt to the setup naturally over time.

There exists a certain section of sceptics that believe that the son of former City midfielder, Alfie Haaland will struggle in his debut season at the Etihad Stadium.

The rationale amongst many is that attacking signings have found it a challenge to find their feet during their first seasons for the Sky Blues, due to the intricacies of Guardiola’s tactical system.

Jack Grealish’s underwhelming campaign during the 2021/22 season has been pointed out as the most recent example of this theory.

However, Erling Haaland, who scored 85 goals in 88 total games for Dortmund will be keen on silencing all his doubters as he is scheduled to get to work in his first training session for the club on Monday.

With the Sky Blues set to face Club América and Bayern Munich in pre-season during their US tour later this month, early signs could emerge about what the Premier League has in store from the blockbuster recruit in the 2022/23 campaign.
