Former Manchester City winger Shaun Wright-Phillips has tipped his old club with a sensational swoop for Bayern Munich and England hero Harry Kane.
Earlier this year, Haaland spoke openly about how much he values playing alongside technically gifted creators such as Rayan Cherki, and the thought of pairing the Norwegian with one of Europe’s most complete forwards will catch the imagination of supporters.
Harry Kane’s campaigns in Germany have solidified his position as one of the strongest strikers in the history of the game, and with that, the England international captain continues to attract hypothetical links with elite clubs.
Now, speaking during a new interview with BestBettingSites, Shaun Wright-Phillips has remarkably suggested Harry Kane could launch a sensational partnership with Erling Haaland at Manchester City.
“If you were Harry Kane you could win more silverware at Barcelona, or Real Madrid, why would you turn that down? But if he wants that record in the Premier League, then I think Manchester City would welcome him with open arms,” claimed the former England winger.
Wright-Phillips continued, “I think even if they only play one striker, they can rotate with Erling Haaland. I think both would accept that as long as they were winning trophies.
“More than that, I think they can play together, because Kane is an exceptional No.10 too, and it would free Haaland up. As soon as Kane has the ball and turns, Haaland would be running in-behind and Kane would find him.”
For now, Erling Haaland remains the fulcrum of Pep Guardiola’s attack, and Harry Kane appears settled in Bavaria under the coaching of Vincent Kompany, but Shaun Wright-Phillips’ comments perhaps highlight how quickly the transfer landscape could shift.
