'Haaland is a hurricane that blows you over' - Matthaus backs Dortmund star to reach the top

Former Germany star Lothar Matthaus says it is only a matter of time before Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland moves to one of the world's biggest teams.

The 20-year-old has been a huge hit in the Bundesliga since joining Dortmund from Red Bull Salzburg a year ago, scoring 35 goals in 34 appearances in all competitions.

Haaland played a pivotal role in his side's 3-1 win against RB Leipzig on Saturday, netting twice as Dortmund moved to within five points of league leaders Bayern Munich.
