Jamie Carragher says Erling Haaland could go down as the greatest ever Premier League player if his upward trajectory continues.
The Norway striker has netted an incredible nine goals in his first four Premier League games following his summer switch to Manchester City. This included back-to-back hat-tricks against Crystal Palace and Nottingham Forest, with many predicting him to fire home more goals against Aston Villa on Saturday.
He has already exceeded expectations and has had no problem bedding into English football. And Carragher admits he has been amazed by the quality he has shown already and predicts that he could go down among the greats of the game.

He explained how he believes City have had the best transfer window this summer, with Kalvin Phillips, Stefan Ortega, Sergio Gomez, Julian Alvarez and deadline day recruit Manuel Akanji all following Haaland through the Etihad entrance.
“They lost a lot of attacking players but you look at Haaland and Alvarez’s start already looks quality,” Carragher told Sky Sports. “Haaland is the one that jumps out at you, he looks absolutely amazing.
“I think we know we’ve got a great player in the league but I think we’ve got something really, really special that, when he has finished his time at Man City or in the Premier League, we’ll be talking alongside Thierry Henry.
“I think this lad could end up being the best player we’ve seen in the Premier League, I really do believe that, he’s that special. He’s made a brilliant start.”
