Les Ferdinand, a former Premier League striker, believes it is premature to consider Erling Haaland as one of the greatest forwards in the league after just one season.
Haaland recently broke the record for the highest one-season goalscorer, surpassing Alan Shearer and Andy Cole.
However, Ferdinand argues that Haaland must prove himself consistently over multiple years to be considered among the best.
While acknowledging Haaland’s phenomenal season, Ferdinand emphasizes the importance of repeating success over time.
Haaland himself has expressed a willingness to trade his individual goals for team success, as Manchester City competes for three trophies this season.
Despite the possibility of Haaland breaking a 95-year-old record, Ferdinand maintains that it is too early to place him among the league’s greatest strikers.
