"Happy not to be running after this guy for the next couple of years; welcome Erling"

Pep Guardiola now has a true number 9 in his squad for next season. Erling Haaland, one of the best goalscorers in world football at the minute, will join Manchester City on 1st July 2022.

The Sky Blues announced the news via an official statement this Tuesday and people took no time at all to react. Laporte, who will be Haaland's teammate in a matter of weeks, seems very pleased with his club's newest recruit.

"Happy not to be running after this guy for the next couple of years. Welcome Erling", wrote the Spain international on his official Twitter account. Of course he did not forget to add flame and laughing face emojis to his comment.

Manchester City have just signed a striker who has scored 28 goals and made seven assists in 29 matches this season. This is even with weeks spent sidelined due to injury.
