Former Premier League striker Shearer responded to the news on X, cheekily hinting that Haaland should aim to break his record of 260 goals. The City forward is currently on 79 goals in just 87 games.
Shearer jokingly wrote on X: “Congratulations Erling Haaland. Nine and a half years? It surely shouldn’t take you that long?”With 79 goals in 87 appearances, Haaland is rapidly closing in on Shearer’s record, putting it in jeopardy. If Haaland maintains his current pace and stays at City for the next decade, he could surpass an extraordinary 350 goals in the league.
