Stoichkov: Cruyff would sign Mbappe over Haaland

Former Barcelona star Hristo Stoichkov says that he believes that Erling Haaland would be more effective than Kylian Mbappe with the Spanish giants currently, but he also believes that the legendary Johan Cruyff would have preferred a system involving the French star.

Haaland and Mbappe have risen to the top of the game in recent years, with the duo pegged by many to be the heir apparent to Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi.

Virtually every team in world football would love to bring in the duo, with Barca among those sides linked, but Stoichkov says he believes differentiating between the pair comes down to a matter of opinion more than anything else.
