Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>Ilkay Gundogan has admitted Erling Haaland would improve every top team in world football as Manchester City continue to be linked with a move for the Borussia Dortmund striker.<\/p>\n

Haaland is one of the world’s top forwards following his excellent stint in the Bundesliga and is expected to leave for bigger things in the summer.<\/p>\n

City are best placed to bring the Norway international in during the summer, though he has also been strongly linked with a move to Barcelona, who are currently rebuilding under Xavi following Ronald Koeman’s dismal spell at Camp Nou.<\/p>\n

Pep Guardiola’s side haven’t played with a striker regularly since Sergio Aguero’s heyday, but Gundogan claimed a hypothetical partnership between Haaland and City would work.<\/p>\n

He said: “It\u2019s a long time ago that we played with a classical striker. I think he is a player with big qualities who fits into every team.<\/p>\n

“I think Haaland and Guardiola would work at Manchester City. Haaland has the quality for every top team.”<\/p>\n

City often play with a midfielder up front in their forward line, with the likes of Phil Foden, Jack Grealish and Bernardo Silva playing there at points this season. Haaland is a classic centre-forward who has scored 80 goals in 82 appearances for Dortmund, though he has a more direct style in comparison to City’s possession-based build-up.<\/p>\n

Guardiola has generally avoided questions regarding City’s interest in Haaland, recently saying: “Right now, listen, it\u2019s impossible that I am going to talk about some guy who is not here. He\u2019s a Dortmund player and we\u2019ve an incredible run ahead of us.”<\/p>\n
