Haaland little bit above Isak, says Pep
September 13, 2025
|Saturday Star
PEP Guardiola said Erling Haaland is “a little bit above” Alexander Isak as the Manchester City boss responded to Arne Slot’s claim that Liverpool’s new signing was “maybe the best striker in the world”.
-
Isak could make his Liverpool debut at Burnley tomorrow after the Sweden star completed a British-record £125 million move from Newcastle on transfer deadline day.
Liverpool manager Slot hailed Isak’s quality after the 25-year-old trained with the Premier League champions for the first time this week.
But his suggestion that Isak could be the world’s best did not go down well with City boss Guardiola.
Haaland has scored 88 times in 100 Premier League games for City since signing from Borussia Dortmund in 2022, helping them win two Premier League titles, the Champions League and the FA Cup.
Isak moved to Newcastle from Real Sociedad in 2022 and scored 54 goals in 86 league appearances, helping the Magpies end their 56-year trophy drought by winning the League Cup last season.
Guardiola was quick to back Haaland as the cream of the crop yesterday.
