Erling Haaland has joked that he is only facing half the pressure placed on Manchester City team-mate Jack Grealish.

Haaland has joined City from Borussia Dortmund in a deal worth £51 million, almost half of the £100m transfer fee City paid to sign Grealish from Aston Villa last year.

"Erling's looked good in training and once he reaches full fitness will be unstoppable," Grealish said. "I can't wait to play with him and I'm really looking forward to it.

"He actually said to me: 'I'm only half the price of you so I haven't got the pressure'.

"Obviously it's always going to be big expectations, but nowadays you have to deal with it. I suppose if he misses a chance or whatever then people are always going to have something to say. I've had to get used to it myself."

Grealish added: "He is a great guy, a brilliant guy. The first day that I met him we took a car together and even after that ride I thought: 'What a guy'. He's so down to earth and quite up front with the way he is. You get used to that."
