The 21-year-old Norwegian has been on fire since the start of the season. In the final game of his formation, the power forward scored his 24th goal in 19 games in all competitions, approaching 200 career goals. He has scored three hat-tricks since moving to the English Premier League.
“Erling is so single-minded. He already has about 200 goals so he can probably go to 600, 700 or 800 if he stays fit and keeps doing what he’s doing. Erling is a top striker, the Belgian told the British daily The Guardian. He stays very humble as if he were a regular player, he doesn’t take himself too seriously.
The one who has three goals and nine assists in 14 games since the start of the season is impressed with the number 9’s level of play.
“He’s still a young player enjoying his life and taking his football very seriously. He likes to score goals, so I think that’s what makes him unique,” said De Bruyne.
Recall that Haaland signed from his training club Borussia Dortmund in Germany last June on his new signing.
