Erling Haaland faces a tough first season in the Premier League… he has scored for fun in the Bundesliga but now he'll face much better teams, have fewer sights of goal and will enjoy less space in behind (just ask Werner)

Erling Haaland will arrive in the Premier League to a fanfare of excitement and expectation, but he has a tough challenge ahead of him if he hopes to make an instant impact at Manchester City.

Analysts, pundits and players have highlighted how the step from the German Bundesliga, where Haaland has rattled in 83 goals in 87 appearances for Borussia Dortmund, and the Premier League is in fact a big jump.

Just ask Timo Werner who netted 34 goals in his final season at RB Leipzig, but has only managed 23 in two seasons years at Chelsea.
