Erling Haaland knows who's the striker that inspired him.
Erling Haaland is the fashionable man of the moment and there is no doubt about it. The Norwegian shone again against Arsenal, in what was an exhibition for Manchester City, winning 4-1 and practically defining the Premier League, ending the dreams of the Gunners.
Now, taking advantage of the fact that everyone is talking about Erling Braut Haaland, it is worth remembering who the striker's idol is. When many would think that he is Cristiano Ronaldo or Lionel Messi, the reality is that Haaland has chosen "Michu" (Miguel Pérez Cuesta), former Swansea City striker. In addition, he has copied celebrations.
What were Erling Braut Haaland's words about the former Spanish striker? Erling Haaland tweeted, citing a video of Michu's highlights: 'The streets will never forget you', which is a typical expression to recognize someone's talent on the world of football.
What did Michu say about Haaland?
“I met him in Germany, I gave him a Burgos shirt and he gave me a Borussia shirt. I'm happy for him because of the impact he's having in the Premier. He's going to be a star, if he isn't already. Mbappé and he are going to reign as Messi and Cristiano did".
