'I can imagine him being like Didier Drogba... but with loads of goals' Jamie Carragher lauds Erling Haaland as Man City goal machine starts the season with brace at Burnley

Jamie Carragher believes that Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has everything it takes to establish himself as a Premier League legend in the mould of former Chelsea favourite Didier Drogba.

Haaland notched himself a brace in a 3-0 win for City against Burnley on the opening night of the Premier League season, picking up where he left off at the end of the 2022-23 campaign.

The Norweigan scored 52 goals across all competitions last term as City won the Premier League, FA Cup and Champions League, but Carragher believes there is more to his game than goals alone.
