Romelu Lukaku, who is currently on loan from Chelsea at Inter Milan has backed Erling Haaland to assert his dominance over football for the next decade.
The Belgian striker lavished praise on to the 22-year-old, who has scored a staggering 52 goals in all competitions this season.
As Manchester City prepare to face Inter Milan in the Champions League final on Saturday, Romelu Lukaku lauded Erling Haaland in an interview with CNN.
Romelu Lukaku raves about Erling Haaland ahead of Champions League final
The Norwegian megastar’s compatriots clearly have a lot of respect for him, with even Bayern Munich’s Alphonso Davies tipping him to become a ‘legend of the game.’
Even Real Madrid goalkeeper Thibaut Courtois branded the Premier League Player of the Season as one of the ‘stars of football.’
With Manchester City and Inter Milan set to lock horns in the Champions League final, Romelu Lukaku said that expects Erling Haaland to continue conquering football.
“I think he will dominate, with [Kylian] Mbappe, world football for the next 10 years. They will be fighting from the new generation. They will really take over [from Lionel Messi and Cristiano Ronaldo] in the next two years.”
The football fraternity are aware of how special a talent Erling Haaland is
Due to how incredible the Manchester City No.9 is, it is easy to forget that he is only just 22 years old.
With that in mind as well as his exploits over the years, it is not a shock to see fellow players like Romelu Lukaku tip Erling Haaland for greatness already.
While the term, ‘generational talent’ is often overused, Haaland is the very definition of the phrase, as he may well be one of the greatest natural goalscorers the game has ever seen already.
Considering Romelu Lukaku’s heroics for club and country over the years, it is one hell of a compliment from him to have such high expectations from the Sky Blues fan favourite.
