Liverpool manager acknowledges Haaland’s move to City will make them even more formidable in the Premier League.
Jurgen Klopp has conceded that Erling Haaland’s transfer to Manchester City will make the Premier League champions “a lot” stronger. The Borussia Dortmund striker’s move was confirmed on Tuesday, hours before Liverpool secured a dramatic win over Aston Villa.
Haaland, one of Europe’s most lethal goal scorers, has an impressive record, having netted 61 goals in 66 Bundesliga appearances since January 2020, as well as 23 goals in just 19 Champions League matches. With Manchester City already dominating the Premier League in terms of goals scored, the addition of a striker of Haaland’s calibre raises concerns for clubs aiming to challenge their dominance.
Klopp shared his thoughts on Haaland’s transfer following Liverpool’s victory, stating, “How much better does he make them? A lot! Unfortunately, he’s a really good signing. He is a beast. Unfortunately, a really good signing.”
