Erling Haaland already TERRIFIES defenders, says Gabby Agbonlahor, who compares him to Didier Drogba

Gabby Agbonlahor has compared Erling Haaland to prime Didier Drogba after his explosive start for Manchester City.

The Norwegian star moved from Borussia Dortmund to City for £51million this summer after 86 goals in 89 games with the German side.

After successive hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, 22-year-old Haaland already has nine goals in five Premier League games - and former Aston Villa striker Agbonlahor has claimed defenders are already terrified of him.
