Manchester City 'identify shock target to provide back up for Erling Haaland' after Julian Alvarez's £81m move to Atletico Madrid

Manchester City are reportedly considering a shock target to provide backup for Erling Haaland.

Haaland has started the new campaign in typically clinical fashion, scoring four goals across his first two Premier League games.

In total, Haaland boasts a hugely impressive record of 94 goals in 101 appearances for City.

However, City manager Pep Guardiola is eager to bring in another striker to provide backup for Haaland.

The need to sign another forward was intensified by Julian Alvarez's departure to Atletico Madrid for £81million.
