Manchester City's new superstar signing reminds Joleon Lescott of a player who famously fell out with Pep Guardiola. The Blues announced last week that they have agreed a deal in principle to sign Erling Haaland, with the forward having said his goodbyes to Dortmund over the weekend in their final game of the season.
City beat off interest from Real Madrid and Barcelona to sign the Norwegian, who is already seen as one of the most exciting talents in world football.
Many are interested to see how Haaland will fit into a team that has played without a No.9 - with considerable success - for the last two years, and there are still those who believe Guardiola does not like working with strikers.
Evidence for that theory goes all the way back to the manager's time at Barcelona, when he built a team around a young Lionel Messi rather than the established Zlatan Ibrahimovic.
