Premier League managers plotting how to stop Erling Haaland

Given the danger he is expected to pose to rival clubs, Premier League managers are said to be calling each other to plot how to stop the Norway international.

The Telegraph reports that one unnamed EPL manager has described Haaland as "an alien" who is "stronger, taller, faster than anything we have seen before."
