'Haaland is everything his dad wasn't: a goalscorer, quick & good looking!' – Ex-Man City duo

The burgeoning talents of Erling Haaland have been talked up by two former Manchester City players as the Norwegian continues to be linked with a blockbuster summer move to the Premier League leaders.

Paul Dickov and Andy Morrison joked that the Borussia Dortmund striker possesses all the attributes his father – former City team-mate Alf-Inge – did not, though they believe the former midfielder's professional attitude and mentality does shine through in his son.

Pep Guardiola's side, which got to see Haaland at close quarters during Tuesday’s Champions League quarter-final first leg against Dortmund, is among a clutch of elite clubs believed to be considering a move for the 20-year-old.
