Guardiola sends stern warning to Premier League rivals after Man City announce agreement to sign Haaland

Earlier, Sports Brief had reported how Pep Guardiola believes Manchester City will score more goals when Erling Haaland joins the Premier League champions next season.

The Citizens have been without a natural center forward since the departure of Sergio Aguero at the end of the 2020/21 campaign.

Guardiola has now revealed that signing Haaland from Borussia Dortmund is good for his team as Manchester City will be more clinical in getting 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.
