Serbian FA President Boldly Claims That Dusan Vlahovic Is Better Than Manchester City’s New Boy Erling Haaland

• Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic has been labelled a more complete player than Manchester City's new striker Erling Haaland by Serbian FA President
• The official backed his countryman who moved from Fiorentina to Juventus at the start of this year on a four-year deal
• Haaland, meanwhile, is preparing to hit the ground running in the Premier League after successful stints in Germany and Austria

Serbian Football Association President Nenad Bjekovic has claimed that Juventus striker Dusan Vlahovic is miles ahead of Erling Haaland.

Haaland has often been touted as one of the best strikers of his generation, but Bjekovic believes that Vlahovic is a more complete player of the two.

Manchester City recently activated Haaland's release clause to bring him to England from Borussia Dortmund. He enjoyed a fine individual goal-scoring form in the two years he was in Germany.

Vlahovic meanwhile caught the attention of top clubs after a successful spell with Fiorentina, where he was leading the scoring charts in Serie A. Juventus beat other top clubs to secure the services of the Serbian in January.

His association President has now lauded him, as quoted by the Daily Mail.

Vlahovic is better and more complete than Haaland.

The Norwegian has devastating power, but Dusan is not inferior: there is also very little difference in their height.

But the Juventus forward's variety and styles of a player is better. Manchester City and Juventus paid more or less the same fee, including commissions, to sign the two this year from Borussia Dortmund and Fiorentina.

Vlahovic finished the season with 29 goals in 45 appearances for both Fiorentina and Juventus, while Haaland bagged 27 goals in 29 appearances.

Sports Brief had earlier reported that Erling Haaland took some time off to surprise some kids by joining them in a game of football. Haaland is currently on vacation in the Spain coastal town of Marbella in Spain.

The Norwegian is preparing for life in the Premier League after sealing a 51 million euros deal to Manchester City in a five-year deal.

He is enjoying his vacation after leaving Borussia Dortmund, where he enjoyed a stellar two years before Manchester City activated his release clause. The 21-year-old now joins Pep Guardiola's side, where he will be expected to slot in directly in the first eleven as the Citizens push for a first Champions League title.
