Goal machine Erling Haaland is NOT the finished product yet, claims Fernando Hierro, but the Real Madrid legend backs Man City's star to reach the level of LaLiga strikers Karim Benzema and Robert Lewandowski

Erling Haaland is not the finished product in comparison to LaLiga superstars Karim Benzema and Robert Lewandowski, Real Madrid legend Fernando Hierro has claimed.

The Manchester City hitman has shown explosive form in front of goal since arriving at the Etihad this summer, netting 20 goals in 13 appearances across all competitions.

Although the 22-year-old has demonstrated fantastic 'potential', Hierro urged that Haaland has not yet reached the level of Benzema and Lewandowski, who go head-to-head in El Clasico on Sunday.
