Kevin De Bruyne has opened up on Erling Haaland, claiming the Norwegian is “a little bit similar” to Manchester City legend Sergio Aguero but has different qualities.
Since making a move to Etihad this summer, Haaland enjoys the season with the Citizens. He has already registered 12 goals and one assist in eight games in all competitions.
De Bruyne believes his new teammate is adapting quite well at the club, though he can still do a lot better in the game.
“I’ve played with strikers before; I’ve played with Kun [Aguero], he’s a little bit similar, but he has different qualities,” the midfielder said.
“I think Erling adapted really well, I think he can still do a lot better in the game,” De Bruyne added.
“But when you score goals as a striker, obviously a lot of people are going to judge you on that so then you do really well.”
