Former Chelsea star John Obi Mikel claims Erling Haaland 'doesn't show up in big games' as he calls on Man City striker to 'prove me wrong' in crunch clash with Arsenal

Former Chelsea midfielder John Obi Mikel does not believe Erling Haaland shows up in big games.

Mikel made the bold call on beIN Sports and felt the Norwegian had a worrying tendency to go missing when Manchester City needed him most.

When asked if Haaland showed up in big games, Mikel responded: 'Right now, he hasn't. We can agree on that.

'He's scored goals, so many goals, but in the big games, I want to see him do that on Sunday again when they play Arsenal. I want to see him show up in big games and be the man.
