Guardiola Says Haaland Could Break Shearer's Record

Manchester City head coach Pep Guardiola has compared Erling Haaland to legendary footballer Alan Shearer. The Englishman, Shearer, holds the record as the Premier League's all-time top scorer with 260 goals.

The Norwegian Haaland, meanwhile, has scored 99 goals so far, achieving this in just 108 matches. "No matter what records Haaland achieves, the greatness of Shearer remains unchanged.

I have deep respect for players who have scored consistently over many years. That takes immense determination.

Simply placing Haaland in the same conversation as Shearer says a lot. You don’t have to be a mathematician: if Haaland continues to play for a long time and maintains this scoring pace, he could come close to Shearer and Kane.

But the future is unpredictable," Guardiola said. Today, Manchester City will face Newcastle, the team where Shearer played for many years.
