Is Erling Haaland Really a “League 2” Level Striker?

by

Erling Haaland’s exceptional season has sparked debates about his true level as a striker. Some argue he’s underrated, while others question his overall quality.

[Dougie Critchley] (Sky Sports): "Erling Haaland has scored 32 goals this season. That's a tally that Thierry Henry and Wayne Rooney topped twice in this country, Sergio Aguero once and Luis Suarez never did. Not bad for a "League 2" level striker who has missed 12 games of this season with injury."
