Asked to identifythe best No.9 on the planet, Haaland’s fellow countryman and former Liverpool defender Riise - speaking exclusively toGOAL courtesy ofSmooth Spins Online Casino - said: “I mean, Harry Kane's unbelievable. I feel like Harry Kane's more in that build-up as well. You can see in Bayern, he drops down a little bit, he has small passes, he links up. Then he scores goals as well, of course.
“But when it comes to proper No.9s in the box targets, I don't think there's anybody better than Erling Haaland. His pace, his fighting. You can see the way he walks, when he's on it, on the pitch, you can see he's strong.
“You see all the challenges he has with Gabriel and Arsenal. He's so powerful in the box, his movements in the box. He is, for me, the best one. Just give him the ball in the box and he will score.”
