'They got him for £51m... he's probably worth £150m': Man City's capture of Erling Haaland shows how well club conduct transfer business, insists 'excited' Micah Richards... and says he expects Norway star to add 'something different' next season

Micah Richards struggled to contain his excitement at Manchester City signing Erling Haaland and said it demonstrates just how well City do their transfer business.

The Premier League leaders - who extended their lead over Liverpool back to three points after Kevin De Bruyne scored all the goals in their 4-1 victory at Wolves - announced on Tuesday they had signed the Norway striker ahead of next season in a £51million deal.

City beat Real Madrid to the 21-year-old Borussia Dortmund star's signature, and he had also been linked with Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United in recent months.
