Paul Merson suggests Haaland could struggle like Lukaku
Paul Merson has sugegsted that Erling Haaland could suffer from the same problems as Romelu Lukaku should he complete a move to Manchester City.
Speaking to Sky Sports, he said: “It’s a completely different game when you come to Manchester City. You kick-off and 10 players are going and standing on the edge of their box, you’ve got to break them down, got to show guile and this is the problem with [Romelu] Lukaku, he’s struggling at Chelsea.
“He ripped it up at Everton, West Brom where teams come and have a go and he’s a handful but when it’s on the edge of the box, Lukaku ain’t got nowhere to go and he wants to run into space, he’s a good finisher. I’m not sure, I’d have taken Harry Kane all along, all day long.”
