– It can probably go up to 600, 700 or 800.
Erling Braut Haaland’s teammate Kevin De Bruyne believes there is almost no limit to the number of goals the Norwegian can score during his career.
The 22-year-old from Jæren has already scored 159 goals in his professional football career according to Transfermarkt, and Belgian De Bruyne believes the goals will keep coming for his Manchester City colleague.

– Possessed
He doesn’t want to compare the Norwegian star to other forwards he’s played with, but it’s clear Haaland is right there on top of the world.
– Erling is a great striker. But it’s hard to compare tips because they’re so different. They play in the same position, but some are physical players, some are quick, and all score goals for fun. Erling hasn’t gotten there yet since he’s so young, but most of the others have scored 300 or 400 goals. Erling is so obsessed with goals that he can probably do even better than that, says De Bruyne according to the Manchester Evening News.
Switch from other Norwegians
According to Transfermarkt, Ole Gunnar Solskjær finished with 160 professional career goals, while both Tore André Flo and John Carew have 161. Steffen Iversen is slightly ahead with 170 career goals.
Should Haaland continue the goal-scoring trend from early this fall, he will likely outstrip all of the aforementioned players during the final half of the season.
And if we are to believe De Bruyne, this is just the beginning…
