At 6 foot 4, he is certainly in the Haaland mould but he’s also quick on his feed, registering speeds similar to that of Paris Saint-Germain superstar Kylian Mbappe (36.1km/h), who is some five inches shorter.

Harry Kane, whilst still at his peak, isn’t going to be around forever and the Salzburg gem could well be the
