“Haaland can be as good as Messi and Ronaldo‘

According to Sven Goran Eriksson, Erling Haaland can be as good as Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

PSG’s Messi and Manchester United legend Ronaldo have dominated the World Player of the Year award for 15 years.

But ex-England boss Eriksson told BoyleSports World Cup Betting: “I’ve never seen anyone like Haaland.

“He’s still very young and if he can continue like this without injuries I think that’s a big enemy for all footballers, he could be as famous, at least as high as Messi, Ronaldo and Maradona.

“Because this guy has everything and also seems to be very, very strong mentally.

“He takes everything around him with a smile and looks very positive. As a footballer he has everything, it’s like Kane. Big, strong, fast. Haaland is also extremely fast, when he walks you can’t take him.

“I think he can be as good as Messi and Ronaldo. If he avoids injury and keeps his head the way it is now, he won’t lose his mind. He has everything. Unbelievable.”

Norway goal machine Haaland cost Manchester City £51million from Borussia Dortmund in the summer.
