Erling Haaland could be the best Premier League player EVER, claims Jamie Carragher - who backs the £53m Manchester City striker to follow in the footsteps of Arsenal legend Thierry Henry

Jamie Carragher has insisted Erling Haaland can be the Premier League's greatest player of all time.

The Norwegian striker joined Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund for £53million this summer, and after successive hat-tricks saw him net nine goals in his first five league games, that fee already looks a bargain.

And pundit Carragher told Sky Sports that Haaland, 22, can follow in the footsteps of legendary former Arsenal striker Thierry Henry, who is widely considered one of the best players in Premier League history after 175 goals for the Gunners.
