"Definitely, he can help us score more. It is not about that. In the end, it is about winning games.

"I never thought that our defensive situation depends on the central defender and I never thought that the goals we score depend on the striker. He has scored a lot of goals in his career and we are going to try to help him through the game, having more chances to score goals.”

Erling Haaland comes to the Premier League with an impressive goalscoring record as the 21-year-old attacker has scored 85 goals in just 88 appearances for Borussia Dortmund.
