Erling Haaland's goal tally at 21 years old is UNMATCHED by the world's best, as Manchester City's £51m superstar recruit has a better goals per game ratio than Lionel Messi, Cristiano Ronaldo and Sergio Aguero did at the same age

Everyone knows how good new Manchester City recruit Erling Haaland is, but the Norwegian's goals per game ratio shows just how remarkable his talent is at 21 years old.

City activated Haaland's £51million Borussia Dortmund release clause last month and confirmed that the striker had signed a five-year contract earlier this week.

Joining the Premier League champions, his father Alfe-Inge's former club, is the next step in Haaland's career so far which has seen him score goals for fun everywhere he has been.
