Haaland is more in the moment. All to his credit,” he said.
Before revealing that he wanted to sign him during his first stint on the Chelsea bench. “A fantastic stat. I have immense respect. I tried to bring him to Chelsea last time I was here. His level at that time was very clear. Thanks to him”added Lampard.
