Haaland used Benzema as an example: "I hope to be a better footballer"

The figure that frames Erling Haaland's breakthrough in the Premier League so far: 21 goals in 15 games. It seems obvious that he is going to break all the records in front of goal in the English top flight, but, taking a closer look at the figures of all the top scorers of this century in the league, a conclusion emerges: the Norwegian will not only surpass them, but he smash them.

The Nordic striker made headlines this week for featuring on the new digital cover of 'GQ Hype'. At the event, he made a statement on football: "I will do everything in my power to be a key player and win trophies".

"My goal is for us to win the Champions League, I hope," he added. He also used the current Ballon d'Or as a reference: "At Benzema's age, I hope to be a better footballer than I am now".

"I think for me the most important thing in life is sleep - not just a lot of sleep, but good sleep," he said of his method for performing well.
