With the Norwegian arriving at the Etihad Stadium, he ends the team’s search for a world-class striker.
Haaland joined the Premier League champions from Borussia Dortmund in a £51 million ($63m) transfer.
According to De Bruyne, “Erling Haaland is a top striker. His move should help us to grow as a team.
“Everybody expects a lot. We’ve always been looking for a number nine.
“I think it’ll be good to have that striker that maybe scores [between] 20 [and] 25 goals [per] season.”
