Former Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has praised Manchester City striker Erling Haaland as an “exceptional talent” but believes he is still a newcomer to the game. Despite already showing great potential, Wenger believes Haaland has the ability to become an even better player in the future. With his instinct, timing, and recent outstanding goals, Haaland has impressed observers with his abilities on the pitch.
Haaland, who has scored 13 goals in 12 appearances for City this season, has been consistent in finding the back of the net. His excellent finishing and ability to exceed his expected goals (xG) show his quality as a striker. However, with reports of a release clause in his contract that may become active in 2025, the future of Haaland at City is uncertain. Clubs like Real Madrid and Paris Saint-Germain may be interested, but the high buyout fee could complicate any potential transfer.
City will likely try to keep Haaland at the club, with a contract extension possibly on the table in the near future. As a young player with many years ahead in his career, Haaland’s potential has drawn attention from top clubs in Europe. Despite his talent and goal-scoring record, the Norwegian striker still has room to grow and develop as a player, according to Wenger.
