Manchester City star Kevin De Bruyne has drawn comparisons between Erling Haaland and Sergio Aguero following Saturday’s win at West Ham.
The Belgian international has played alongside both Sergio Aguero and Erling Haaland during his time at the Etihad Stadium, with the Norwegian striker currently pursuing Aguero’s Premier League record for the most number of hat-tricks.
The 24-year-old has scored successive hat-tricks against both West Ham and Ipswich Town during the opening weeks of the new Premier League season, with Haaland’s latest three-goal haul at the London Stadium being the striker’s first hat-trick away from the Etihad Stadium.

Speaking following Haaland’s latest hat-trick, De Bruyne compared the two Manchester City strikers, saying: “All around, maybe Kun [Aguero] but it depends on what you talk about. Erling [Haaland] is the most prolific striker I’ve played with.
“I’ve played with really good strikers like Kun, Samuel Eto’o, Fernando Torres, there’s some good guys. It’s hard to compare but the stats speak for themselves. He’s started the season on fire and let’s hope he maintains it.”
Haaland has already scored seven Premier League goals for Manchester City this season, with the 24-year-old also netting during a 0-2 win over Chelsea at Stamford Bridge on the opening weekend of the Premier League campaign.
