The Premier League champions have finally made the official announcement of the 21-year-old Norway international joining the club on a five-year deal.
Pep Guardiola’s side paid £51 million to sign one of the most talented youngsters from Borussia Dortmund. The Norwegian striker’s final cost would jump to £85.5 million, adding agent fees and signing bonuses in the final deal, according to a Sky Sports report.
Shearer, who has scored 260 goals in his entire Premier League career, believes Haaland will have a blockbuster career at the Etihad Stadium. The former Newcastle United striker has restated his earlier stance, stating that Manchester City will benefit a lot from his arrival and the player will be a sure-shot hit from his first season.
Expressing his views on Haaland’s arrival at Manchester City, Shearer said via Sports Illustrated:
He added:
The 21-year-old striker has scored 86 goals and provided 23 assists in 89 games across different competitions for German club Borussia Dortmund.
Erling Haaland will boost Pep Guardiola’s hunt for the Champions League trophy with Manchester City
Pep Guardiola’s Manchester City fell marginally short in the semi-final stage of the Champions League against eventual winners Real Madrid. The club made it so far despite the absence of a full-time striker.
City have now completed the signing of one of the most feared young strikers in world football. This would certainly boost Guardiola’s ultimate dream of winning the Champions League title with Manchester City.
The Spanish manager has won four Premier League titles in the last five seasons but what has been consistently missing from the trophy case at the Etihad Stadium is the ultimate European silverware. Haaland will have to adjust to the challenges in the new league to establish his name and help the club claim the European title.
