Alan Smith expressed his admiration for Manchester City striker Erling Haaland, stating that he loves watching him in action. Haaland, who is currently in his second season with the club, is aiming to help City secure the three trophies they won in the previous season.
As Haaland prepares to lead City in a crucial match against Liverpool that could propel them to the top of the Premier League table, Smith shared his mesmerization with the Norwegian forward. In a recent Q&A session on Reddit, Smith revealed that Haaland is his favorite player to watch, describing him as a “one-off” talent.
City acquired Haaland from Borussia Dortmund for £51m in the 2022 summer transfer window after witnessing his remarkable goal-scoring record of 86 goals in 89 appearances for the German club. Since joining City, Haaland has continued his prolific form, scoring 81 goals in 85 appearances under Pep Guardiola.
Despite not leading in individual touches, Haaland has been City’s top goal scorer in the Premier League this season with 18 goals in 22 games. This striking efficiency in finding the back of the net has solidified Haaland’s status as a crucial asset for the team.
Smith’s fascination with Haaland stems from the striker’s ability to consistently deliver goals, which could play a pivotal role in City’s quest for silverware this season. As the campaign progresses, Haaland’s goal-scoring prowess will be closely watched by fans and pundits alike to see if he can help City achieve their ambitions.
