Former Everton chief scout Steve Walsh says Erling Haaland should be playing at Goodison Park.

It's emerged this week that Borussia Dortmund are demanding €150m to sell the Norway international over the summer.

However Walsh, currently an advisor to Charlotte FC, says he had a deal in place for Haaland when the striker was still with Molde - only for then manager Ronald Koeman, now in charge of Barcelona, to turn it down.

He said: "I had convinced Erling Haaland and his father and the transfer could have been done for four million euros."

Walsh famously put together the Leicester City team which won the 2016 Premier League title before leaving for Everton.
