Manchester City striker Erling Haaland says his desire to learn and be the best player he can be pushed him to sign for the Premier League giants.
Despite interest from several of Europe’s top clubs, the Norwegian opted to sign for City, where he will play under the tutelage of Pep Guardiola.
In an interview with FourFourTwo, Haaland says his move was carefully thought out in order to further his own development.
“I don’t know what will happen, but it must always be about learning, about developing,” Haaland said.
“You can never stop looking for new ways to become better.
“Look at Karim Benzema at Real Madrid.
“He’s 34 now, and suddenly he’s developed into an even better player over the last couple of years – that’s insanely good. I want to always do that.”
Although Guardiola has shown a willingness to try different players at different positions, Haaland made it clear he doesn’t see himself playing anywhere other than up top.
“I was watching the Premier League a lot before I arrived here, and I think over the past few years the big No.9 has become more and more rare, but that’s why it’s even better to be one now!,” he said.
“It’s the final position and I always wanted to be a striker because of that. I love my position.”
