Pep Guardiola has found the ideal replacement for Erling Haaland
With Julian Alvarez joining Atletico Madrid, Manchester City are left with Erling Haaland as their only striker.
However, this is nothing to worry about as Haaland has already scored 4 goals in the first two Premier League games. Although Celtic's Kyogo Furuhashi has been mentioned as a potential reinforcement, Manchester City do not seem to be in a rush to sign another centre-forward.
In a press conference, Pep Guardiola proposed an interesting alternative: another Norwegian. “Oscar Bobb can play in this position, because he is really talented. However, replacing Erling Haaland is almost impossible on many aspects. We will find a way, when he is absent for rest or for other reasons, to remain efficient and effective in front of goal…” The only downside is that Oscar Bobb is currently injured, and his return is not expected until the end of 2024.
