Troy Deeney has joined those piling on the praise for Manchester City forward Erling Haaland as he compared him to a sporting great.
Speaking in his column for The Sun, Deeney said that he likens the City striker to iconic boxer Mike Tyson because of how he would beat his opponent before even stepping in the ring.
Deeney said: 'This phenomenal Norwegian reminds me of Mike Tyson in his peak years - where opponents were mentally beaten before they even got in the arena.'
