The guys actually pretty decent but I think we should only sign him if we intend on signing 2 strikers like reported

Erling Haaland plus Hoppe would be great, with Jesus shifted out to the wing

Yes we all want Haaland, but I think they should look into Hoppe

Striker tier list we should buy in the summer :
1. Halland
2. Kane
3. Lukaku

No one else
