Haaland's warning to Arsenal

The Norwegian hotshot has now declared Man City's intent to hunt down Arsenal in the Premier League title race.

Speaking after his side's win over Leeds, Haaland further revealed that he has a goal target that he wants to achieve this season.

"We have to hunt Arsenal. I have a [goal] target but I cannot say it," the star forward told Amazon Prime.

Haaland expressed his belief that he could have scored five goals, but said the important part was for City to win.

"I could have scored a couple more, but that’s life and I have to train more," he added.

Sports Brief earlier reported that Belgian playmaker Kevin De Bruyne has backed Haaland to score 800 goals in his career, to reach the heights of Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo.

De Bruyne believes that if the Norwegian star can maintain fitness throughout his career, the 22-year-old will certainly exceed the 200 goals he has to his name already.

The former Salzburg striker has 26 goals already for Manchester City in his first season, including three hat-tricks in just 19 competitive games.
