Jamie Carragher gives Premier League clubs hope of beating Manchester City to the title despite Erling Haaland signing

Jamie Carragher has given Manchester City’s Premier League rivals hope of winning the title despite the stunning arrival of Erling Haaland at the Etihad.

Haaland’s £51.2m transfer from Borussia Dortmund was confirmed on Monday, with the Norway striker signing a five-year deal with English champions Man City.

The 21-year-old is already regarded as one of the best players in the world and scored 86 goals in 89 games for Dortmund.

Haaland’s move has bolstered a Manchester City squad which has won the Premier League four time since 2018 and reached the Champions League final in 2021.

Carragher admits the move is a ‘worry’ for Premier League clubs but says another Man City title triumph is ‘not a forgone conclusion’.

‘It’s a worry for the rest of the Premier League,’ Carragher told Sky Sports.

‘We are talking about one of the world’s greats even at such a young age, but I don’t think anyone should be raising the white flag too early because it’s going to be really interesting how he fits into the team.

‘So, it will be really interesting to see how he settles but from the Premier League’s point of view, I think it is fantastic that we’ve got one of the world’s leading players right now joining our league.

‘That doesn’t always happen, certainly at a young age, and a lot of his best years are going to be in the Premier League.

‘So, it’ll be really exciting for everyone to watch but it’s obviously going to be a tough proposition trying to stop Manchester City.’

The Liverpool legend added: ‘They have so many players now who don’t play through the
