‘Haaland looks clumsy but he’ll go down in history’ - Dortmund striker not fazed by pressure, says former Molde team-mate

Borussia Dortmund striker Erling Haaland “will go down in history”, according to his former team-mate Alex Craninx.

The goalkeeper, who also had a stint with Real Madrid Castilla, teamed up with the Norway international striker in the earliest days of his career when he was with Molde.

Since then, the 19-year-old has enjoyed a swift upward trajectory, scoring 17 times in 16 league matches for Red Bull Salzburg before being quickly moved on to BVB in the January transfer window.
