Manchester City striker Erling Haaland has told the club to replace him if he fails to deliver the goals for the team.
Haaland has been in explosive form this season and leads the way with 15 goals in the Premier League already this term.
In an interview with Shearer and Gary Lineker on The Rest is Football podcast, Norway’s all-time record goal-scorer has candidly admitted that City must move on from him and sign a replacement as soon as the goals begin to dry up.

“But again, as I said before, I’m the striker of City. I have to score goals. If not, they have to replace me.
“Because if I’m not delivering the goals and the things they need, they have to replace me. So there is a lot of pressure on me to deliver, you know, and to do the job.”
“It’s injuries, first of all,” Haaland says, when asked why City dropped off last season.
“I look at one time at our defence. I don’t want to blame injuries and I’m not doing it. I’m just saying it was a part of it. I think it’s just so difficult to maintain and to keep it up after winning.”
