Sergio Agüero backs 'elite' Erling Haaland to be a success at Man City but sends one warning

Sergio Agüero believes that 'elite' Erling Haaland will be a success at Manchester City, but has sent one particular warning regarding a period of adaptation.

After attempts to sign Harry Kane and Cristiano Ronaldo fell by the wayside, Pep Guardiola finally secured his long-awaited striking target this summer. Haaland completed a £51million switch to the Etihad Stadium in June and supporters are now eager to see him in action.

That could come in the early hours of Wednesday, when City kick-off their pre-season preparations with a friendly against Club América in the United States. Haaland was missing from some initial sessions at the CFA, but seemed in fine form in training yesterday - displaying his full repertoire of finishing ability.

Fans and pundits alike have been placing predictions about where Haaland could place in the goalscoring charts next season, with the Norway international already one of the clear favourites for the Golden Boot.

One person who knows a thing or two about finding the back of the net is the club's all-time leading goalscorer, Sergio Agüero. The now-retired marksman is an ambassador for Stake.com and has been discussing the transfer and what he can bring to Guardiola's side.

He said: "Haaland's is a very important signing. I think his goalscoring ability is proven. His stats through the German league and in Europe confirms this.

"Logically, he will have a period of adaptation to a league as strong as the Premier League but I think he will go through his own process and the results will be seen soon."

It is interesting to note even Agüero himself had to adapt to the Catalan's methods.
