“A groundbreaking moment for the Premier League. The first time a young superstar, coveted by all clubs, has come to an English club over the Spanish giants. Paul Pogba was a few years older when he signed for United “, writes Gary Lineker, former top scorer for England and current TV personality, on Twitter.

On Monday, Haaland’s transfer from Borussia Dortmund was finally made Manchester City completely ready. The 21-year-old has signed an agreement until 2027.

Lineker is aware that the biggest comets often go to Real Madrid or Barcelona. Jamie Carragher, a former Liverpool stopper, also believes that it is not a matter of course that the biggest names come to the Premier League.

– It is a concern for the rest of the Premier League. We’re talking about one of the best in the world even though he’s so young. But I think no one should raise the white flag too soon, because it will be very interesting to see how he fits into the team, says Carragher as a Sky Sports expert.

– From the Premier League’s perspective, I think it’s fantastic that we get one of the world’s leading players right now. It does not always happen, especially at a young age. Many of his best years will be in the Premier League, Carragher continues.

In England, football experts and writers are excited about how Haaland will join Pep Guardiola’s squad that won the Premier League last season. Guardiola has often played without a classic striker.

– Haaland wants to develop football and its presence. He will be better technically and more complete. If you’re a young player and can work with Pep, go and do it. It can be a fantastic match. It may take some time, especially at the start of the season, but in a short time he will be an incredible player for them. Pep wants to make him a world-class player, says Julien Laurens, TV and podcast profile in the international football sphere, at ESPN.

Manchester City tried last summer to get England and Tottenham captain Harry Kane, but it did not work out. Now Kane is looking forward to a fierce duel to become the top scorer. On Monday, it also became clear that Liverpool and Benfica have agreed on a transfer for star striker Darwin Núñez.

– The battle for the “Gold Boot” is always tough. The Premier League has always produced top strikers from around the world for several years. You expect the top strikers to play in the Premier League, and with these two new signings that is the case. It helps me as a player to have tough competition. It drives me to develop and get better. So clearly, I look forward to the challenge, Kane said at the press conference before England’s match against Hungary on Tuesday at 20.45.
